The school had representation in three age categories, u13 mixed, u16 girls and u19 girls.

The u13s teams placed 14th, u16s 18th overall and the u19 teams finishing 17th out of all teams in Britain.

They also contributed to the Scottish region being ranked ninth overall in the Under 16 Girls and sixth overall in the under 19 girls category.

The afterschool gymnastics club would like to thank the many individuals and organisations from the local community that helped them to get to the British Finals.

The team and their families have had to fundraise to allow the pupils to take part in this event.

Levenmouth Academy after school gymnastics club is run by volunteers from Enigma Gymnastics Club as apart of a school club link pathway.
