Children at an infant school in Devizes have been running a mile a day in celebration of the Olympic Games.

Southbroom Infant School's pupils and staff covered 379 miles - the distance from Devizes to host city Paris.

Children from the nursery to year two took part in the running, and have "thoroughly enjoyed taking part," the school said. They also cheered on their friends with flags and Olympic torches.

They collected sponsors prior to starting their daily mile to raise money for the school's parent teachers association, Friends of Southbroom Infants.

The school said: "There has been a fantastic atmosphere and community spirit with all members of our school community coming together and getting involved.

"We have been incredibly impressed with the children’s dedication and commitment to reaching Paris and all received a medal and certificate once they had completed the sponsored run.

"We are incredibly proud of everyone’s effort and dedication in order to make the week such a success."
