British boxing champion Hannah Beharry popped into a Tooting primary school to inspire youngsters to pursue sport.

Pupils at Franciscan School quizzed the former European bronze medalist about her career and her route to the British boxing's summit on Friday.

Headteacher Pat Andre-Watson said: "The visit from Hannah has been brilliant.

"She is an ideal role model for our children - showing them how you can change the direction of your life and do great things."

The 26-year-old boxer said: "I've had an amazing time at Franciscan.

"The ethos and values the school hold is what 'be the best you can be' is all about. I'm happy that the programme is being run in such an amazing school."
