l STAFF and pupils at Eastborough Junior, Infant and Nursery School raised nearly £250 for Sport Relief on Friday. Children each paid 10p to watch four teams of pupils take on their teachers in netball matches, while the younger pupils took part in egg and spoon races.

Noreen Dunn, deputy headteacher, said: "It was a great success but the teachers were very tired by the end of it."

Pupils were also allowed to wear their sports kit to school and raised a total of £241.90 for the BBC charity appeal.
