Young athletes at St Joseph's RC Primary School have run up a grand total for charity.

More than 100 students from the Ingrow school took part in a sponsored fun jog around Lund Park.

With head teacher Peter King acting as the "hare" and setting the pace, the energetic children stayed the course and raised in the region of £1,000.

Teacher John Lubomski said: "We held one race for the younger children in Key Stage One and a slightly longer run for the pupils in Key Stage Two.

"Part of the money that has been raised through the sponsorship will go to Leeds Diocese's Good Shepherd collection, with the rest of the money being used by the school to buy new playground equipment.

"We would like to thank the parents who turned up to help marshal the event and the Friends of St Joseph's who handed out drinks to runners at the finish line."

The school has been holding the fun runs for the last six years as a fundraiser for local and international charities.

Members of staff also thanked St John Ambulance and Bradford Council park rangers for their support.
