Pupils from Templeton School have raised £645.50 for Readathon. Readathon is a national sponsored reading event that is held in schools annually. All the money raised is donated equally between CLIC Sargent and The Roald Dahl Foundation. The money is spent locally, caring for children and young people suffering from cancer, Hodgkin's disease, leukaemia, epilepsy, blood disorders or acquired brain injury. Headteacher, Mr. Mike Perkins, said: "We are delighted to have taken part in Readathon. It encouraged our children to read for enjoyment and at the same time help other children, in the area, who are not as well as themselves." Brough Girling, Readathon chairman, said: "We are thrilled that children from Templeton School have enjoyed reading lots of books and we, and the charities, would like to thank them for all the money they have raised."
