TWO pupils at Pershore High School have shown impressive skills both on and in the water.

Year 9 student Victoria Wassell from Littleworth has enjoyed success at the Inter-Divisional trials for the English Schools Swimming Association.

She did so well that she will now compete in the Bazuka 56th National Schools Championships in Manchester later this month.

Twelve-year-old Rebecca Dawkes, meanwhile, has been selected for the British Junior Sailing squad.

The youngster from Dormston is the youngest ever female to have earned such selection and is considered to to be in the top 24 under-16 sailors in the country - only eight of whom are girls.
