Three pupils brought in homemade cakes over three days, which they sold at break times to raise funds for the Lent appeal.

CAFOD spokesman Deborah Purfield said: “I was so impressed to see how the students decided by themselves that they were going to raise funds for CAFOD.

“With the headteacher’s permission, they delivered a talk at an assembly to let all know what they were planning to do, they set up their stall and sold their home-baked cakes over three days. Fantastic effort, St John Rigby.”
