Lady Alice deputy head teacher Lesley Caldwell said the school community was thrilled with the amount raised.

She added: "All of the money will go towards benefitting the pupils in the school.

"It was a fantastic day and we were so pleased to see so many people turning out for us."

Everyone attending the summer fair got the chance to look around an amazing array of stalls which included pictures and paintings, hand-drafted toys, and jewellery.

Tasty treats were on offer in the tearoom, and organisers invited a local ice cream man and his van to the school to keep everyone cool.

Lesley said she was thrilled to see so many families, and so many people from the local community coming along to support the fundraiser.

She added: "A lot of children who are pupils at the school brought their families to see us, and we welcomed a lot of people from the wider community as well.

"It was a different kind of experience for parents as they usually visit for learning experiences to see what's going on within the school.

"We loved being able to show them the school community taking part in a social occasion and raising money."
