NINE youngsters were presented with Duke of Edinburgh bronze awards by the Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland, Councillor Norah Cooney, yesterday.
The children, from Kirk-leatham Hall School, which caters for children with learning or physical difficulties, were Steven Binns, Christopher McKittrick, Carl Skilbeck, Christina Rathbone, Shelley Taylor, Sarah Harland, Andrew Swales, Michael Stokes and Rachael Halpin.
Teacher Simon Shepherd, who organised the work for the award scheme, said they were proud that the pupils were the latest from the school to achieve the award.
"We're a school which caters for children with either learning of physical difficulties so their achievement is absolutely marvellous," he said.
Tasks which the pupils had to complete included a weekend walking expedition, and playing netball and football for the sport and recreation section.
The community section of the award included wheelchair-pushing and helping feed less able pupils.
