Energetic youngsters at Rectory Church of England Primary School completed laps of the school field in a bid to raise money for charity.

Pupils from nursery up to year six were sponsored by friends and family to run around the field in aid of Cancer Research UK.

The school’s event on Friday, June 11 was in support of the charity’s Race for Life campaign and together they raised £3,000.
