CHRISTMAS came early for the pupils at Bredon Hill Middle School when they enjoyed success at the annual South Worcestershire Schools Swimming Gala last month.

Teams were entered from each year in all four strokes against fine other Middle and High Schools from Pershore and Evesham.

Bredon Hill competitors recorded 11 first places in individual events, while adding a trio of relay triumphs.

Years Seven and Eight proved unbeatable in their age groups as they topped their standings to lift their respective titles.
