And on Friday, January 26, school staff and parents went to The A World shop, which supports the autistic community, at the Mill Gate Shopping Centre with a cheque of £80 for the money the children raised.

Staff at the store praised the Edward Street school, which will carry on raising money for the cause over the year.
