An Olympic hockey star recently paid a visit to a Windermere school to help coach the pupils.

David Ames, vice-captain of England and Great Britain’s hockey teams, was at Windermere School to put the pupils through their paces.

Mr Ames was in the England team which finished fourth in the 2018 Men’s Hockey World Cup and played in both play-off legs at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Head of PE Dan Reid said: “We’re absolutely delighted that David could come up to Windermere School to work with the students.”
