Younger pupils at South Craven School, in Cross Hills, were given first-hand experience of Sikhism.

Roop Singh, who is based in Leeds, spoke to year seven pupils.

Head of religious education Gill Baker said: “Arriving in full Sikh costume, Roop made a colourful entry, before giving a very entertaining and informative presentation about his religion through his own life story. He explained the significance of his costume, with particular reference to the special place the turban has in his faith.
