Mr Halliwell was full of praise for students and staff who joined in and supported Red Wednesday this week as an amazing £1, 277.57 was raised.

The money will be handed over to ‘Aid to the Church in Need’ once the  extra money from Headboy Jamie’s sponsored silence comes in next week. 

Mr Halliwell added: “This was one of the largest amounts we have ever raised from a mufti day and I want to thank all parents and staff for helping the church out. It really will make a big difference to the charity.”
