FIRE juggling and unicycle rugby are not two activities usually associated with schools, but one group of youngsters is preparing to put on a show combining all manner of circus skills.

Thirty pupils at Richmond School take part in a circus show which starts tomorrow.

The 15 gymnasts and 15 members of the school's circus club have been rehearsing every week since the start of the year.

Among the performances will be a display of unicycle riding, including unicycle rugby and hockey and knife, fire and diabolo juggling.

Maths teacher and circus club leader Andrew Mollitt said: "We have been working on it all year so it will be the culmination of a lot of hard work."

Tickets for the show, which ends on Friday, cost £3.50 for adults (£2 for children) and are available from the school or on the door.
