A fundraising bake-off, custard pie wars and red wigs helped schools and businesses to raise money for Comic Relief.

Students from Clevedon School baked biscuits and impressive cakes including a giant burger, a man-eating shark and a falcon in a charity bake-off competition.

Cakes were judged by experts and auctioned off by staff, while the rest were sold to students.

Six members of staff also volunteered to have a custard pie thrown in their face by delighted students who donated hundreds of pounds for the privilege.
