OLYMPIC high jump finalist Tom Parsons got pupils in high spirits when he dropped in at Burford School.

Mr Parsons, right, put some of the 200 pupils through their paces on a fitness circuit for a sponsored event to raise funds for an after-school athletics club. And at least one pupil thought the session was great.

Money raised also went to the Team Superschools award scheme, which gives financial assistance for pupils to fulfil their sporting potential.
