CHIPPENHAM NEWS: Energetic pupils have raised over £450 for the British Heart Foundation in a three-hour jumpathon.

Youngsters at St Paul's Primary School took skipping lessons for several weeks to make sure they were fit enough for the jumpathon on March 24.

The event involved the whole school jumping and skipping constantly for three hours and formed part of a Healthy Schools fortnight, where children have been learning about a healthy lifestyle.

A cheque was presented to the British Heart Foundation on Wednesday.
