Energetic pupils and teachers at a mid-Essex school helped to raise more than £1,300 for charity.

Two year groups at Boswells School, Chelmsford, raised the money after Lesley Gill, of Lepra, which helps people with Leprosy, went into the school to give a talk on the condition and its effects.

She spoke about how the charity helps people cope with the disease. One year group took part in an aerobics session, which attracted 80 students, as well as a number of energetic teachers.

The other year group took part in a quiz organised and hosted by their assistant head of year, Dave Maclane.
