Pupils at Elleray Preparatory School and Day Nursery, at Windermere, have been applauded at the school's annual Prize Day for their achievements over the past 12 months.

Head teacher Susan Cooper congratulated students on doing well in sport, dance and music as well as for winning prizes for academic subjects, their personal qualities and strengths.

"Every child in this room today has achieved success at Elleray this year and we, parents and teachers, are proud of you all in different ways," she said, after thanking staff and parents at the ceremony for their support.

Ex-Elleray pupil Sally Broom, head girl at Windermere St Anne's for 2001/02, presented pupils with their prizes.
