Pupils at Tabor High School got their own back on a teacher and raised cash for the good of the school in the process.
History teacher Joe Hales was soaked after pupils paid money to throw buckets of soapy water at him at the school in Panfield Lane, Braintree.
Making a splash - pupils paid to throw water at history teacher Joe Hales
All the proceeds will go to the school's bid for science college status where they have to raise £50,000 by October.
At the moment, they have raised nearly £20,000, but desperately need about £25,000 in sponsorship.
Janey Avery, of the school, said: "We are doing quite well raising money, although we have still got a long way to go. But this time I kept out of the way."
