The youngsters and staff at the city’s Key Stage One pupil referral unit got dressed up to support the charity Cash for Kids.

This support has included lots of healthy food snacks, which the parent group packed up into bags and sent home to the families.

All the superheroes did a sponsored high energy dance to raise cash.

Ms Potts said: “The experience was great in bringing children, families and staff together for a cause close to our hearts.”
