PUPILS at a Stourport school spent their last few days before breaking up for the Christmas holidays by getting in the festive spirit while raising money for charity.

Burlish Park Primary School students and staff got out their festive knitwear, to mark Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day, and indulged in the school’s Turkey and Tinsel Christmas lunch.

By wearing their own yuletide pullovers the children and staff were able to raise more than £300 for the charity which helps children all over the world fulfil their potential.

Lynda Williams, eco schools co-ordinator, said: “This is the third year that our children have joined in Christmas Jumper Day and it really gets everyone into the Christmas spirit.

“Burlish Park support many different charities and Save the Children is one of our favourites and we raised over £300.”
