Staff and students at Lees Primary School donned seasonal sweaters to raise cash for Save the Children.
The 210-pupil school gave its backing to the charity’s Christmas Jumper Day before the festive holidays.
“All the children were asked to come to school in festive jumpers – or sweaters they’d decorated themselves – and bring in silver-coloured coins,” said school administrator Sharon Treece.
“We had some wonderful creations, including some with flashing lights!”
About £100 was raised, and collections from the school’s nativity performances also went to the cause.
