Summerhill Academy welcomed four pentathletes as part of a move to introduce obstacle course racing into the modern pentathlon.
The change means athletes will now face high-energy challenges such as rope swings, monkey bars, and the thrilling ‘tsunami wall’.
To support this and introduce the sport to a younger generation, Pentathlon GB has partnered with the Youth Sport Trust to develop teaching resources for primary schools.
Summerhill Academy is one of only a handful of schools across the UK trialling the new materials, after the school won a recent Youth Sport Trust award for its PE provision.
During their visit, the athletes observed a lesson in action and joined pupils in tackling the obstacle course.
