Together, the pupils raised just more than £700. The evening was spent playing games, watching a movie and taking part in the ever-eventful ghost hunt.

Regrettably, despite plenty of strange bumps in the night, there were no ghosts to be found – they were probably scared away by the screaming hunters!

Following the excitement of the hunt, the pupils settled down with a hot chocolate before getting ready for bed at midnight with a few helpings of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes to get them off to sleep.

Well done to the pupils who took part – their behaviour was exemplary and thanks to the staff for giving up their time to make it happen.
