In Pictures: Boston area pupils see red for Comic Relief

Pupils and staff at schools across the Boston area raided their wardrobes for red clothes and costumes to support Comic Relief on Friday.

Also known as Red Nose Day, the event saw various schools in the area take part to support the annual charity fundraiser.

Nathan Black from Voyage Education Partnership, which works with eight academy schools in the area, said: “Our primary academies had great fun taking part in this year’s Red Nose Day. It always proves a popular event, and different takes on the theme at our academies this year included ‘colour’ and ‘superheroes’.

“There were some amazing costumes, many of which were homemade and involved many hours of effort. What a great way to show support for such a fantastic charity!”
