Mathilda Townend and Eva Tweddle, both aged nine and from Reeth, took grade 2 ballet.
Two older students, Millie Johnson, 12, from Grinton, and Florence Green, 11, from Richmond, took grade 5 ballet.

Janet said: “I’m so proud of the girls and how hard they have worked during their summer holidays to achieve their goal.”
