PUPILS from The Mount School, York, have tasted more sporting success in orienteering.

Two teams of girls from The Mount took part in the British Schools National Score Championships and came third in both the Lower Secondary School and Upper Secondary School categories.

Laura Lancaster, one of the team members, has excelled individually this year, competing with the Great Britain Schools Orienteering team in Israel at the World Schools Championships.

York City Council has made a special award to her in recognition of her orienteering achievements and for representing York at international level.
