Wolverhampton Grammar School today held a non-uniform day to raise money for a College in Uganda.

Each student and teacher each paid £2 to wear their own clothes and have coloured hair. The final total raised is expected to be in excess of £1000.

Lords Meade Vocational College in Uganda has students from all across Uganda and Kenya. Many of these are from poverty stricken backgrounds, and are given full or partial bursaries by Tofta Educational Trust. The trust is a registered charity in the UK, USA and Uganda. In a unique link up with the school, two students each year spend 6 months teaching children at the school during their gap years.

Head Dr Bernard Trafford commented, “The spirit in which students embrace events such as these is fantastic and reflects how committed they are to school life both academically and socially. It's a great day to have some fun and raise money for a very worthy cause.”
