A winter tradition has once again brought warmth and generosity to a Wisbech school.
Marshland High School in West Walton marked this year’s Christmas Jumper Day, held on Thursday, December 11, by swapping uniforms for festive knitwear.
The colourful display raised funds for Save the Children, with staff joining students in the seasonal effort.
Claire Whitehouse, assistant headteacher, said: "Events like Christmas Jumper Day are important to Marshland High School because they help build a sense of community, and bring students and staff together in a fun way.
"They also raise money for good causes, encouraging students to appreciate the value of kindness, and the positive impact their actions can have."
Christmas Jumper Day has raised £30 million since it began in 2012.
The school, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust, is also running other charity projects this season.
Mrs Whitehouse said students are assembling boxes of gifts for women and children at a local refuge, as well as collecting socks, hats, and gloves for people experiencing homelessness.
