STUDENTS at a Keighley school have been rewarded for their sporting prowess.

Oakbank staged its annual sports presentation evening, at Keighley Rugby Union Football Club, Utley.

The event was attended by 180 students.

A number of awards – honouring achievements in sports including football, rugby, netball and athletics – were handed out by headteacher David Maxwell.

Top accolades included team of the year, which went to the year-eight Sportshall athletics team; the Key Stage 3 Rod Fletcher Award for sporting excellence, won by Joel Oxford and Eve Crossley for achievements in numerous sports, and coach of the year, awarded to Michael Derrick.

Winner of the overall sports personality of the year title, following a vote by students during the evening, was year-11 pupil Josh Gott.

Chris Heaton, Oakbank's head of PE, said: "It was a great evening and it was nice to celebrate our students' achievements in sport.

"The turnout for the event was fantastic and all our students were very supportive of each other's achievements."
