The headteacher of Bedale Church of England Primary School, David Fishburn was presented with the cheque during assembly.

Mr Fishburn is particularly grateful to the members of the support group, who have been raising funds for more than 20 years.

He said: "They have willingly given so much effort, time and energy for the school and it is very much appreciated."
