PUPILS got a taste of Army life last week at an annual schools competition.

Children from Belmont Comprehensive, in Durham City, took part in the Army's annual Inter-Schools Competition at the Queen Elizabeth Barracks, in Strensall, York.

Ten pupils from Belmont pitted their wits and stamina against more than 240 pupils from 26 schools across the region in a series of six challenges set to make them work together as a team.
