These wonderful Christmas gifts are the work of all Hydesville pupils – from Nursery to Year 11 – who collectively donated the contents, which will be delivered to local children who have fled domestic violence.

The children have also raised £166.30, which will be donated to the Salvation Army.

French teacher Mrs Dhabba said: “I would like to thank the Wellbeing Ambassadors for their support in organising the boxes, and in particular to Year 9 girls Ayesha, Jessica, Ore and Safiya for giving up their lunch times to check contents and to label them correctly.  An amazing effort by everyone, thank you to parents, staff and children! “

Recently, pupils at the school also donated ‘bags of love’ to a women’s refuge.
