PUPILS and teachers dressed down for charity.
Pupils and staff at Teesside Prep and High School, in Eaglescliffe, near Stockton, paid £1 and wore denim to school for a day.
They were supporting Jeans for Genes day, a charity that funds research into genetic disorders and birth defects.
Every half-an-hour a baby is born with a genetic problem.
The event was co-ordinated by sixth formers and one of their tutors, Gaby Waddoup, said more than £200 was raised for the fund.
She said: "We've supported this charity before and the girls have a real understanding of the importance of the work they do."
