On Wednesday 4th November, 120 FCC students and staff, accompanied by their pet dogs, completed a 10-mile charity sponsored dog walk.
Students from a variety of year groups took part in the annual FCC event, which has been running at the school for well over 15 years.
Jenny Robson, Student Leadership in charge of charity at FCC commented: “This event grows in popularity every year and this was the most we have had take part.
"We walked from school to Butlins, then along the seafront down to Middleton.
"We then went all the way up to the Aldwick beach huts, then back along the prom to FCC. It was so cold!
"Students and their dogs did really well to keep going and complete it, the wind was fierce.
"It was great to see students mixing together across year groups and their dogs making friends!
"Last term we voted as a school community for what charities we want to support for the academic year, with 4 charities being chosen – The British Heart Foundation, Stonepillow, Guide Dogs and Air Ambulance UK.
"So, all the money raised from the dog walk, and other events this year, will go towards them.
"We are still collecting in the money from the dog walk but we know we have raised at least £1600 which is incredible."
