Scott Lower School’s Karen Wallbank, an experienced runner, donned the crazy costume for the Chase the Banana fun run.

The whole school took part and raised more than £800 for the charity.

The School, in Hawk Drive, Bedford, also held a cake sale and pupils were able to attend in non-uniform for the day.

Headteacher Mrs Anita Barker said: “It’s not just the children who enjoy getting involved in good causes. It was a fun day for everyone.”
