A sponsored dog walk at Burrowmoor Primary Academy has raised more than £3,000.

The event saw 300 children, parents, and 52 dogs walk six laps around the school field in March.

The dogs, including the school's greyhound mascot Pippin, wore red ribbons as they walked the 3km route.

The event was held in a bid to raise money for the school, as well as give children the chance to spend time with family.

One parent said: "Such a lovely, well-organised event, Mrs Bailey.

"Well done to you and the staff who helped out.

"Lovely to see Pippin enjoying herself too.

"The children were all so well-behaved, many walking with friends."

The event also launched the school's new fundraising group, Friends of Burrowmoor (FOBs), who will lead future initiatives including cake sales and a summer activity day featuring bouncy castles.

The money raised will go towards a whole-school trip to Hunstanton next summer, with any leftover money used to improve the playground equipment.

Burrowmoor Primary Academy joined The Diamond Learning Partnership Trust on November 1, 2023.
