OLYMPIC rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave is to visit an East Yorkshire school to present a pupil with a national award.

He will join pupils at Burlington Junior School in Bridlington on Thursday in a range of sport activities to celebrate Sporting Promise, an initiative encouraging more young people to take part in PE and school sport.

Sir Steve will present ten-year-old Elliot Hatton with an Outstanding Young Person of the Year Award 2014 for Sporting Promise, which recognises his commitment to helping others at the school.
