Leighton Middle School pupils hit the ground running when they decided to hold a sponsored run for the Mencap.
A total of 120 children in Year 5 took part last Monday and ran really well despite the very hot weather.
A spokesman said: “We raised £1,300 last year and would be delighted if we managed to exceed that sum this year. The Mencap playscheme is a very important part of the Leighton Middle family and we look forward to welcoming them in to our school again this summer.
