Classes at the school, in Dominion Road, East Worthing, watched the opening ceremony’s live broadcast and tried out some of the sports during PE lessons, including their own takes on snowboarding, the luge and bobsleighing.

Pupils also used giant wooden skis to slalom down the hall, took part in ‘ice hockey’ event and competed in inter-house curling, which was won by Woodpecker House.
