Heysham High Wakes up and Shakes Up!

Heysham High School students gave Diversity a run for their money as they attempted to set a Guinness Book World Record for the most pupils to take part in a synchronised activity.

Over 80,000 students across Lancashire took part in dancing to Lady Ga Ga and The Saturdays to celebrate National Sports Week in association with the Youth Sports Trust and Rock FM.

Schools in Lancashire were sent videos to help them all train for the same dance routine and the dances at Heysham were lead by two fitness instructors from VVV and Heysham High School Sports College Director of Sport, Mrs. Noops Kirby.

"The students really enjoyed themselves and the movement from them was great," commented Gareth Finney, Heysham High's Partnership and Community Development Manager

"At the last count, 80,000 students had taken part and we are waiting for confirmation we have achieved world record status."
