Barry Comprehensive School

Barry Comprehensive School pupils continued to support the Jamie Adamson Memorial Fund last week with another unusual fundraiser - a sponsored sleepathon. This annual event is a favourite with pupils who collect sponsorship pledges in return for the privilege of spending the whole night in school!

The 140 pupils, chaperoned by volunteer teaching staff, spent the evening playing sports, taking part in quizzes and watching DVDs before eating a supper provided by the school. The Learning Resource Centre doubled as a dormitory for the night with books and computers ignored in favour of sleeping bags and pillows. The boys were provided with breakfast, to which their parents were also invited, before leaving school on Saturday morning.

The hard work of the boys and the generosity of their families, friends and the people of Barry have resulted in £2000.00.being pledged to the Fund. The school is grateful to everyone who took part and also to COS, D & G Wholesale and Tesco for their continued support.
