The pupils in Woodpecker class at Carlton C of E Primary School decided to give something back this Christmas by organising a reverse advent calendar for their class.
Instead of getting a chocolate when they opened their class advent calendar, each pupil took in a food item.
The collection of food was taken to a local food bank to be distributed to those who need help this yuletide.
Head teacher Sue Burt said: “The idea for the reverse advent calendar came from the pupils and reflects our December value of care and compassion.
