Money pours in after a wet start at school

THE sun made a guest appearance at Eleanor Palmer Primary School on Saturday.
Children at the school in Lupton Street, Kentish Town, were joined by former pupils and local residents to celebrate the school community.
They enjoyed music, sideshows, wine and international food stalls.
“It poured from 6am and we started to set up in the rain, but when we opened the gates the sun was shining,” said headteacher Kate Frood.
The event was such a hit that the last person left an hour after the designated 4.30pm finish.
More than £7,000 was raised, which will go to help fund school trips, inviting artists to work in the school and theatre visits.
“I don’t know if the general public realises how much work goes into a day like that,” said Ms Frood.
“It took a lot of work from a hard core of parents before, after and during the day.”
