Headteacher Miss Stott said: “It was an overwhelming success and we were amazed by the generosity of the staff and pupils, Mrs Moses (Year 6 teacher) and the children spent most of the afternoon counting all the pennies.

“Our children and families are extremely compassionate and always give generously. I am proud of all our children.”

The total raised was £301.05.
