STUDENTS at Beckfoot Oakbank have plenty to cheer about.

A mixture of Key Stage 3 and 4 girls took part in a Bradford schools cheerleading contest.

And the squad finished third overall.

The Keighley school was up against five others in its category and ten in the overall competition, held at Tong Leadership Academy in Bradford.

Beckfoot Oakbank teacher, Hannah Stubbs, said: "We are really proud of all the girls who took part.

"They were a credit to the school and thoroughly enjoyed themselves."

The school would like to hear from any business interested in sponsoring a uniform for the cheerleading squad.
