Pupils and staff at George Grenville Academy raised £434.50 in total in aid of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal for the victims of the war in Ukraine.
They hosted a non-uniform, with many of them wearing the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag.
Raising money was a big focus and the children donated to come to school in non-uniform, with many of them wearing the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag.
As well as raising money, the school also encouraged pupils to share their thoughts and feelings about what is happening in Ukraine and think of ways that others can help, with a special assembly being held, giving information and a chance for the pupils to be part of group reflection.
Deputy headteacher Caroline Ryan, who organised the event, said:
“It was an important event at George Grenville Academy – not just raising vital funds for the DEC Ukraine appeal, but also to raise some awareness among our children about what is going on.
“Through events like this, the children are able to see themselves as part of a wider community.”
