A SCHOOL bursar and two friends trecked across the countryside to raise money.
Susan Luke, of Hurworth Comprehensive School, near Darlington, made the fundraising effort as part of a campaign to raise £50,000 for the school's bid to gain specialist mathematics and computing status.
With friends Jane Kellett and Nadine Norgrove, she walked the five miles from Reeth to Richmond, in North Yorkshire, as part of the annual Darlington Lions charity walk, and raised £370.
The school is holding a public meeting in the village on Thursday, to outline the benefits of specialist status to the community, in an effort to encourage more fundraising.
The meeting will take place at 7.30pm at Hurworth Grange Community Centre.
