SIXTH-FORMERS from a York school had to do the bidding of the younger children after being sold as slaves for a day to help raise money for causes at home and abroad.

The stunt was part of a four-day drive by pupils from Huntington School which also included a penalty shoot-out competition, with members of staff taking turns in goal, a fancy dress day, a race over an obstacle course and a charity show.

The money will be donated to Snappy - the York Arc Light Project for the homeless - and to a school in Africa.
