The school had held two fundraising concerts as part of the charity’s Sing Out appeal, which encouraged people to throw festive musical events to help raise money for its work.

Head of music Lesley Amey said: “We are really chuffed that we raised so much money. “We didn’t expect to make that much, everyone worked really hard.”
