Pupils at Burgess Hill School for Girls raised over £700 for the BBC's Children In Need day on Friday 18th November.

Junior School pupils and staff paid one pound each to wear spotty clothes for the day. The girls also sold Children In Need wristbands which contributed £157 to the charity appeal.

Pupils in the Junior School's yellow House, Milton, held stalls to raise extra cash for the appeal. Among the stalls was a cake stall, selling spotty cakes and Pudsey bear biscuits, a draw-the-best-bear competition, a raffle for a home-made Pudsey cake, 'pin the ear on the guinea pig' game and toys, books and sweet stalls. In total the Junior School raised £560.

The Nursery children covered Pudsey bear faces with money which was donated to the appeal and they made Pudsey biscuits and fairy cakes. The Nursery raised £174 for Children In Need.

Sixth Formers baked cakes to sell in the Senior School and they proved so popular the students sold out at lunch time.
