A primary school in Folkestone asked pupils to 'break the rules' on the last day of term to help raise vital funds to build new playground equipment.

Sandgate Primary School on Coolinge Lane held the PTA fundraising day for the first time on Friday.

Children were allowed to select as many rules from the list as they wished, each with a 50p 'fine'.

The list included being allowing to call head teacher Matthew Green by his first name for the day, have messy or coloured hair, wear trainers, makeup or tattoos, and ignore first bell of morning play time to have an extra 10 minutes to run around.

Kerry Parry, PA to the head, said the appeal was a hit: "We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our families and have raised over £1,000 which will be used to install playground equipment for the children."
