This programme sees kids use the summer term to create a social enterprise of their own design, with the pupils at Askam choosing to run football and dance clubs.

A spokesperson from the school said: "They also held a presentation event after school [on Thursday, July 18] where they performed their dances and gave out a set of awards.

"We had a special visit from Claire Johnson from the Centre for Leadership Performance to tell us that, of all of the Cumbria schools taking part, we had won the prize for Best Teamwork and Collaboration.

"We received a trophy, certificate and £100 for our school."
