While they were there, they presented a cheque for sixty pounds, with a promise to raise more funds for the group early next year.
Martin Cox (Lifeboat Operations Manager), Tony Winterburn (Station Chairman) and Tractor Driver Ricky Holmes gave the children a conducted tour of the station and all its operational equipment.
Mr Daniel Burnett, Head of Design and Technology at Edington and Shapwick Senior School, who is also the pupils' tutor, said: "We were very impressed with the high level of technology in use by the RNLI at Burnham-On-Sea."
He added: "The students all enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to raising more RNLI funds at a sponsored walk in January."
