Farringdon Community Academy held fun games and contests throughout the day to generate cash for the good cause.

The fun included dizzy goalscoring competitions, pin the red nose on the teacher and even a tug of war.

Pupils got the chance to wear teachers masks and also take part in Bush Tucker trials in which the challenge was to taste bugs in sweets.

There were also lots of opportunities to win such as guess the number of sweets in the jar, name and win the teddy and guess the baby photos of staff.

Assistant head at the Allendale Road school Jill Reay said: “It’s been a fantastic afternoon in school.

“Each tutor group organised activities for the whole school to take part in.

“We’re incredibly proud of our students, they’ve shown how caring and considerate they are and we hope we’ve raised a good amount when we do our final count.”
