They competed against 14 other schools - which included two other primary schools.

The team came third overall in the challenge and judges awarded them a trophy for best robot design.

Headteacher Caroline Coates said: "I am so proud of the Gizmo teams.

"They work really hard and enjoy it. They did so well at Sheffield Hallam University.
