Schoolchildren have performed at a music concert to raise money for an all-girl boarding school in Morocco.
Staff and pupils at Lewes Old Grammar School helped to organise the event in aid of the school in the High Atlas Mountains after a visit there last year.
The fundraising, which also included a non-uniform day and a bake sale, made more than £2,000 for Education For All. The sum will provide education for one girl for two years.
Will Ellis, geography teacher at Lewes Old Grammar School, said: “For me, it is just so valuable to see how our fundraising has had such a direct impact on significantly changing lives and seeing how the girl we have supported through her education is passing on the message about the importance of education to a new generation of girls.
“To have the opportunity to raise more funds through organising and being involved in fun events like this is great. We can see how donating money can have a direct impact on people in Morocco.”
The school has previously been able to support a girl at the grammar school through secondary school all the way to university, where she trained to become a teacher.
