More than 400 pupils from a Maldon school took part in a school-wide triathlon.

The triathlon, held on Wentworth Primary School's grounds, featured three challenges - a swim in the indoor pool, a cycle or scoot around the playground, and a long-distance run, cheered on by fellow classmates.

The event aimed to encourage physical activity while fundraising.

The school's Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and PE team organised the event as part of a wider initiative to raise funds for new adventure play equipment.

"This was all made possible by our amazing Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and PE team, who are fundraising for new adventure play equipment to be used by all pupils ready for June 2025.

"Thanks to our Wentworth community, we have so far raised over £10,000 including gift aid- thank you Maldon!"
