Pupils at a primary school in Kingsbury got away with clowning around in their lessons as part of a themed week.

A circus came to St Robert Southwell RC Primary School in Slough Lane, to feed the youngster’s creative writing and teach them new physical skills.

The children also took part in a circus skills workshop which included them dressing up as a character for a day.

The week culminated with an assembly for the parents where the proudly showed off their costumes, writing and juggling skills.
