THIRTY pupils from Dorchester Middle School showcased their skills at the David Beckham Academy in London.

The county town school, which so far this year has won five out of six school cup finals, enjoyed a fabulous day at the facility where pupils undertook a range of tasks based on all aspects of the game.

Head of PE Matt Roberts said: “There were eight schools from all over the country in attendance and it was a joyous occasion.

“To grace Europe’s greatest football facility and revel in David Beckham’s history of success in the game was a once in a lifetime opportunity and one the pupils enjoyed very much.”

Dorchester Middle School also came away with more accolades as Sam Clarke and Danny Kelly both claimed medals of achievement.
