It was the Northgate Games at Northgate High School in Dereham, which saw students compete is a range of unusual challenges.

The students represented houses and were tested in competitions based on performing arts, science and logic, humanities and art and technology.

Pupils from surrounding primary schools also joined in.

Each team of students collected tokens in the first half of the day to help complete a challenge in the second half of the day, where house points were collected.
