School's fundraising effort for Anna's Hope charity is rewarded
The school raised £2,475 for the charity, which was the most raised by any primary school and is also the most raised by any of the schools that entered. As a reward the school received a £500 voucher from ChromaSport and Trophies, the major sponsor of the Challenge and a TV from sponsor Aldi Peterborough - in addition to the Anna’s Hope Schools’ Challenge Trophy. Runner Up was Nene Valley Primary School.
Carole Hughes, founder of Anna’s Hope, said: “We really appreciate the support we have had this year from the children, the schools, the council and the sponsors. Congratulations to Castor School and to their inspirational Headteacher, Mark Ratchford.”
