PUPILS at a Darlington school are taking part in a fitness initiative.

Having already received a Heartbeat Award to celebrate their approach to healthy eating, Abbey Junior School has set targets for the pupils' physical education skills.

Pupils' running speeds have been measured, as well as how accurately they can kick a football and how far they can jump.

One year group is holding a mini Olympics, where records will be kept and a second such event will be held later in the year to monitor improvement.
