Parents, old and new, joined teachers and supporters for a summer ball at the Harbour Hotel, which was held to boost funds for new equipment and resources for the school’s new building.

Former-Sidbury pupil Myles Le Blanque returned to entertain the crowd, along with Mellow Bridge, who helped to provide the music.

Local businesses contributed a range of prizes for the raffle, which raised £1,000 on the night.

Emily Monks, chairman of governors at the school, said: “The event was really fun to plan.
