| Bridge at Woodmancote School |
Pupils at Woodmancote School, Cheltenham, have been learning the game with the help of Cheltenham Bridge Club volunteers.
Teacher, Paul Adkin, said: "It's absolutely delightful to see the children play bridge.
"They pick it up quickly, and it's a great example of a game which supports their learning on so many levels. It involves turn-taking, logic, long-term strategy, showing patience and, of course, maths.
"What's most important of all is that they enjoy it."
