“There are just over 90 pupils at St Peters, and so for us to raise almost £800 from the night is an absolutely fantastic result and is reflective of the strong community spirit we have here at our lovely village school,” she added.
After raising £700 at the Ardingly village fete in September, it means that the fundraising team at the primary school have raised over £1,500 in the first half term of the academic year.
Its next fundraising event will be the school Christmas Fair on Friday, December 7, it says which promises to be another fun event for both parents and children.
