Year 5 teacher Emma Chapman submitted a 60-second video explaining why her class should win the Ultimate School Trip with Disney Cruise Line contest.

She was praised by judges at Disney for her “fun and creative” video, and her pupils will now experience the “magical four-night sailing” onboard the Disney Dream ship from August 12-16.

The ship will sail from Southampton to La Rochelle in southwest France.

Organisers say the group will take part in “uniquely crafted” lessons, including drama with the cast of the Beauty & The Beast Theatre Show, science with Stitch and PE on Goofy’s Sports Deck.

Each pupil will be able to bring up to three friends or family members on the trip.
