Clevedon students have raised thousands of pounds by hosting a gala dinner.

Sixth form students held an evening of food, cabaret, dance, music and drama to boost school funds.

Dozens of guests filled the school hall to indulge in a delicious four-course meal, prepared by catering students, and enjoy a varied programme of entertainment.

The organisers are all business studies students at the school, with the event forming part of their real-life business creation project.

The evening raised a total of £2,000 for the school.

Headteacher, Jim Smith, said: “What a fabulous event.

“We are very proud of all the students who took part.

“The food was sensational and the cabaret performed by students in years seven to 13 was of the highest quality.”

Last year’s event was held in support of charities Mend The Gap and Motivation.
