Coastal recorder players are ending the school year on a high note.

The young players from Walton's Hamford School have won a top contest - for the third time.

The ensemble beat off schools from across north Essex to take the Colchester Rotary Club trophy for the under 12s once again.

Head Ken Blake said he was extremely proud and he praised the work of coach Anne Davis.

The trophy was presented at a ceremony in Colchester.
