GALLERY: A ‘flipping’ fantastic day in North Somercotes

Youngsters from North Somercotes CE Primary School, Somercotes Academy, Somercotes Stars Pre-School and Treasure Chest Day Nursery all joined in with the annual event, which has taken place in the village for over half a century.

Teachers, teenagers and other adults also joined in the fun on Tuesday (March 5).

The primary school’s head teacher, Paul Floyd, said: “It was a wonderful afternoon.

“The children participated so enthusiastically, really cheering each other on.

“The Pancake races are a great tradition of our village and it is an honour for our school to host, as we have done for the last four years.

“It was a pleasure having the children of Somercotes Stars Pre-School, Treasure Chest Day Nursery and Somercotes Academy join us, as well as many other members of our church school family.

“This is a real family event that brings our whole community together.”
