PUPILS at a Pershore school raised nearly £1,000 towards a teacher running the London Marathon.

Pershore High School held a non-uniform day on Friday, February 13 in aid of English teacher Dominique Edwards, who is taking on the challenge in April.

She is running the marathon in aid of Acorn’s Children’s Hospice a Worcester-based charity supporting young people with life-limiting or potentially fatal conditions and illnesses.
