The infant children each walked a mile and the junior children took on a distance of their choice, some reaching seven miles before the end of the afternoon.
This event has so far raised a further £1,500.
The fundraising total of more than £4,500 has surpassed the school’s initial ambition to raise £1,500.
Jennie Swan, learning mentor, said: “The response and support from the community has been astounding.
