PUPILS from All Cannings Primary School have been awarded trophies in recognition of their sporting achievements over the winter term thanks to local opticians, Haine & Smith.

Barry Smith, senior partner, and Janet Hartwell, head office manager, attended the school’s celebration assembly to congratulate the winners of most improved sports players’ awards. The under-nines category was won by Petra Wellard, nine, and Freddie Shergold, eight, while Holly Cave, 11, and William Cox, ten, received the awards for the under-11s. All this term’s winners were congratulated on their general improvement in sport based on PE lessons, contributions to after school clubs and sports events in which the school participates, as well as overall attitude to sport, and being team players.

Barry Smith said: “There is a great attitude towards sports at All Cannings School. All the children are encouraged to give new activities a go and achieve their personal best. Haine & Smith are delighted to present these awards to Petra, Freddie, Holly and William in recognition of the great enthusiasm and effort they have each displayed over the past term."
