A DARLINGTON teacher has had his beard shaved off, after he challenged pupils to help raise money for school funds.
Richard Glover, an information and communications technology teacher at Polam Hall School, agreed to part with his facial hair if pupils raised £500 for the school.
Year 11 pupils responded to the challenge and raised the money, which will go towards the school's Jubilee Year Appeal.
They reached the target by holding a series of events at the school, including a fancy dress day.
Stylists from Hackers barbers shop, in Larchfield Street, visited the school fair on Saturday to shave off Mr Glover's beard, as pupils looked on.
