Olympic champion Greg Rutherford delights pupils at his old school

Olympic gold medallist Greg Rutherford visits his former school to show off his achievements to the students.

Olympic gold medallist Greg Rutherford has made a brief return to his old school to show off his medal and talk to the pupils about his achievements.

The long-jump champion was treated to a song written especially for him by Benny Hawes from the children called 'Go for Gold'.

The 25-year-old was then presented with a Head Teachers and Sports Achievers' Award by principal Mrs Sarah Bennett.

Rutherford responded last year by saying: "At last I have my Head Teacher's Award. I've been trying all these years to achieve this!"

Rutherford won gold in the men's long jump final in a dramatic 45 minutes at London 2012, where fellow Brits Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah were also victorious in the Olympic Stadium.
