Kimberley staff and pupils rallied together and ended the Spring term in style with a multitude of events to raise money for Sport Relief. Staff versus pupil games of Netball and Basketball started the money rolling in, followed by a healthy tuck shop (sixth form). The highlight of the week was hundreds of pupils running the Sport Relief mile on the school grounds. The run was all voluntary and it was a pleasure to see so many pupils wanting to run. The pupils all donated money to do this and others raised extra through sponsorship. In total around £800 was raised with more money trickling in. Well done Kimberley School!
