Splurge guns at the ready – pupils at a Workington school became gangsters for their end-of-year show. 

Bugsy Malone was brought to life by children at St Mary’s Primary School in Salterbeck. 

The musical, set in 1920s Chicago, follows the exploits of broke boxing promoter Bugsy. 

The 1976 film stars Jodie Foster and Scott Baio and features songs including So You Want To Be A Boxer? and Fat Sam’s Grand Slam. 

Jane Summerson, year six teacher, said: “The children were very excited about being gangsters and were enthusiastic about performing. 

"We’ve had some brilliant soloists. They’ve put a lot of effort in preparing for the musical in the past five weeks.”
