CLARENDON ROAD SCHOOL TEACHERS AND PARENTS PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD TO RAISE MONEY

We made a return visit to Clarendon Road School, Eccles today after being contacted about their recent novel fundraiser.

The teachers and parents of pupils at the school had arranged to walk/run a mile for every pupil in the school, in a week with 326 pupils that meant a distance of 326 miles in five days.

The walk/run was done following the Covid secure way following Government advice with the participants walking in pairs or solo.

They set themselves a target of £2,000 with donations flowing in from parents and ex pupils, this was met and of today stands at a whopping  £2,734.

All of the cash raised will go towards the wellbeing of the pupils, in this, the third lockdown they have had to endure.

We spoke to Mr Lowry, the Deputy Headteacher and Year 5 Teacher who told us more about the fundraiser and his participation.
