Students at Devizes School wore clothes of their own choice on Friday to raise money for two charities.

They each paid £1 for the privilege of not wearing uniforms to raise money for Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Motor Neurone Disease.

Each year the school’s four houses hold non-uniform days as a way of raising money for chosen charities, which change every 12 months.

On Friday it was the turn of the charities of Gandhi and Teresa houses to receive the donations.

Assistant headteacher Vix Mackay said: “Over the course of the year each charity will get donations of around £500.”
