A penalty shootout was set up for year eight students with pupils trying to score a goal against their teachers.

Year nine students baked cakes which were sold at break and lunchtime to all students and staff.

For those in year ten, pupils who wanted to wear their trainers for the day donated £2 and played 'guess the name of the teddy' and 'how many sweets in a jar'.

Year 11 students bought raffle tickets to win a range of prizes donated by the year team.

Six form teens donated £1 to take part in Dress Down Friday.

A school representative said everyone enjoyed the day and more than £1,000 was raised for Children In Need.
