Youngsters at a Worcester school took to the high seas for a special pirate-themed production. Pictured above in rehearsals are Laura-Beth Hardwick, aged 11, Glenn Strachan and Luke Southall, both aged nine.

About 80 pupils from Perdiswell Primary School were involved in the production of Roger Ravenbeard, which was staged for parents on three nights. Teacher Sam Murphy said: "We ran an after-school drama club and decided to put on this play. It went down a treat. It was a fun production and everyone enjoyed themselves."
