Academy donates charity cash
Year 8 students at Sutton Community Academy have raised £160 for Cancer Research UK after taking part in an entrepreneurial challenge.
The youngsters were given a £1 coin each and had two weeks in which to make as much money as possible - half of which they could keep, with the other half going to a charity of the winner’s choice.
The winner, Courtney Williams, raised £38 by selling sweets and chocolates, reinvesting her money until the deadline. Other successes were in nail art, car washing, cake bakes and dog walking.
