Assistant head teacher Louise Buckland said: “I am so likes to show off our pupils because of their effort as well as raising an incredible amount for that charity. The support their own families and friends have indicated continues to be overwhelming and everybody should feel extremely proud about what may be achieved.
“Our children are the generation that could see ground-breaking treatments and cures for cancer inside their lifetime; they’re the ever rising stars who could be the researchers and lifesavers of tomorrow.”
Representatives from Cancer Research UK in Ramsgate were assigned a cheque and explained to pupils the impact the fact that money raised can have around the charity.
Special thanks were made to Tesco Manston, which donated 20 valuation on refreshments for the children.
