A Spot the Ball competition and a raffle were held to raise the £225.

Pupils Molly Murphy (year 4), John Robinson (year 5) and Madison Luetchford (year 6) also presented the children at Stick ‘n’ Step with chocolates.

Kerry Roe-Ely, Community and Events fundraiser at Stick ‘n’ Step, said: “We appreciate their generosity greatly and look forward to future visits from the school.”
