COMMUNITY-minded sixth formers at Arrow Vale High School raised £1,500 in a week-long charity event.

The activities started off with a cake sale and staff Come Dancing event to raise cash for Redditch Special Olympics.

Then the students held a leg waxing and beard shaving session for the breast cancer charity Focus.

A teacher's singathon raised money for Diabetes UK and the proceeds of a cake sale and egg roulette with teachers went to the Parkinson's Charity.

The week finished off with a non-uniform day, slave auction and the final of the staff Come Dancing event for Children in Need.

Teacher Sam Slocombe said: "The week was a tremendous success."
