RESTAURANT boss Mr Rafu teamed up with Sue Currie, acting head of Shrivenhan Primary School, to tighten safety.

To celebrate the arrival of Rafu's in Shrivenham the restaurateur gave 10 per cent of his first week's takings to the school.

Presenting a cheque for £400, Mr Rafu said: "I'm a firm believer in supporting local schools. Education is the most important thing in a child's life."

Staff and pupils also used World Book Day to raise money for the school.

Leading with an Indian theme, Mrs Currie transformed herself into an Indian princess called Sita. She said: "Sita is a beautiful Indian woman in a Hindu love story and religious epic."

The 150 pupils, aged five to 11, dressed up as a host of characters from Harry Potter to Jesus.

Staff also joined in the fancy dress fun, turning themselves into the seven dwarfs from fairytale classic Snow White.

They paid 50p for the privilege of wearing unconventional clothes and pupils received a £1 book token.

Mrs Currie added: "It's been a brilliant day. The money will help build our new entrance hall and improve security "
