Nearly 500 Croydon students came together last week to help raise money for Children in Need.

Students from St Andrew’s CE School took part in a one mile fun run at Duppas Hill and raised £350 for its 'Big Spotacular' event

Head teacher Kerry Targett said: “The work Children in Need does is inspirational and our students wanted to get involved and support the cause.

"We’re delighted that so many of them rose to the challenge and conquered the one mile run. Every penny raised – from St Andrew’s and the wider community – will really help to make a difference.”
