Pupils have raised a record amount for Comic Relief.

Children from Wheatlands Primary School, in Redcar, raised £1,850.

The school's 450 pupils dyed their hair and dressed in red as well as taking part in song and dance routines at an assembly.

The day also included a bring-and-buy book sale and seven-year-old pupil Emily Blair raised £90 with a sponsored silence.

Acting headteacher Chris Moorfoot said: "It's the most money the school has ever raised for Comic Relief and we're so proud of all the children's efforts to help people in need."
