Wolverhampton Grammar School held a non-uniform day to raise money for a college in Uganda.

Students and teachers paid £2 each to wear their own clothes and have coloured hair. The final total raised is expected to be in excess of £1,000.

The Lords Meade Vocational College in Uganda has students from all across Uganda and Kenya. Many of these are from poverty-stricken backgrounds and are given full or partial bursaries by the Tofta Educational Trust.

The trust is a registered charity in the UK, USA and Uganda.

In a unique link up with WGS, two students each year spend six months teaching children at the school during their gap years.

WGS head Dr Bernard Trafford said: "The spirit in which students embrace events such as these is fantastic and reflects how committed they are to school life both academically and socially. It's a great day to have some fun and raise money for a very worthy cause."

Girls allowed: Megan Caswell, Kiron Aulakh, Taylor Flavell, Hana Lahoria and Rhiarna Dhaliwal enjoying the non-uniform day.
