Monmouth schools took up the challenge to raise funds for the BBC Children in Need appeal on Friday November 18.

Pupils from the youngest to the oldest joined in the annual fundraiser with bake sales, Pudsey events and the traditional coin collections.

Prep students from the Grange School raised funds with a cake and loom band sale while the Pre Prep at Agincourt ran an egg-a-thon.

Students at MCS had a very successful day raising over £1,000 with bake sales boosted by a Children in Need cake from caterers Chartwells and competitions at breaks and lunches and from the sale of a very special Pudsey cake sold off to the highest bidder in the staff room.
