A CHILDREN’S charity has benefited from the energetic efforts of school pupils and teachers.
Linda Trew, of the Children’s Society, visited Pickhurst Junior School to pick up a cheque for more than £4,000.
Headteacher Hilary Richardson and his deputy, Lynne Woodcock, both raised £3,000 for the charity by running this year’s London Marathon.
Inspired by their feat, pupils took part in their own sponsored run in the school grounds, raising an extra £1,122.
The Children’s Society also did presentations to pupils as part of the school’s citizenship lessons.
