PUPILS at a school in York received sporting tips from the top when former Olympian athlete Steve Cram dropped by.

Steve, who is a sports ambassador for Yorkshire Bank, coached pupils at St Olave’s School yesterday morning.

After the visit, Steve went on to Yorkshire Bank North Yorkshire FSC, York, to speak to an audience of local businesses.

Steve said: “I had a thoroughly enjoyable time in York and found the audience very knowledgeable on athletics. My visit to St Olave’s School highlighted a real focus on sport in York and the value this can bring to the wider community.”
