School pupils are set to boost the bank balance of a great cause.

Students at Wimbledon’s King’s College School will be raising money for Chase Children’s Hospice, which supports terminally ill children and their families.

A fundraising committee at the school has announced plans for a themed clothes day in the summer term and concert in October to collect cash for the charity.

Teacher and head of house Sarah Hendry said: “I would like to attempt a 10K run this year for Chase myself, and I know that our team has lots more fundraising ideas too.

“We’re all looking forward to getting stuck-in and raising as much as we can for Chase.”
