A group of police officers were given a PE lesson by school students to help get more people involved in sport.

Twenty Thames Valley Police officers met 20 pupils at The Oxford Academy in Littlemore to become Sport Makers.

Sport Makers is a national programme to help people encourage friends or colleagues to get more active.

The police officers took part in a session of sporting activities led by students.

Tristan Hale, pictured front, from Oxfordshire Sports Partnership which organises the scheme locally, said: “The biggest reason to do sport is the social aspect. If a friend gets you involved in something you are much more likely to do it and to stick with it.”
