PUPILS at a primary school in Trowbridge were rubbing their hands with glee when they took part in massage classes.

Years 1 and 2 at Margaret Stancomb School completed a six week course on Friday and teachers have said the classes, led by former masseur Francesca Rinaldi, proved so popular they want to introduce them to the whole school next year.

Deputy headteacher Kay Bennett said: "The children really enjoyed it and all joined in and even practiced it at home."

The scheme aims to improve pupils' concentration.
