STUDENTS and staff at a Redditch middle school donned an array of pink in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Birchensale Middle School took part in their own Race for Life Race event called Race from your Place held in the school grounds on Tuesday, June 30.

Both youngsters and staff completed the 3km course and raised more than £1,000 for the charity.

Event organiser Sarah Pugh said: “All of the pupils and staff were keen to get involved in the run and dress up to raise money for this worthwhile charity. It was a great day and everyone had fun taking part.”
