On Tuesday 18 November, pupils from St Hugh's School, near Ware, took part in a ‘Skipathon' to raise vital funds to support the work of the NSPCC, which includes the confidential telephone helpline service for children, ChildLine.
Almost 200 pupils took part in the event by skipping for around 30 minutes during the day, including some of the youngest children in the Nursery. The children completed sponsor forms and have so far raised over £3,000 for the NSPCC.
Mrs Jacqueline Hart, Head of St Hugh's School said: "The children really enjoyed the event, some having a go at skipping for the very first time. As well as helping them to get fit and healthy, they enjoyed raising money for other children less fortunate than themselves. We would like to thank all the children, staff and parents who kindly supported the event."
