Sandringham Primary School has raised enough money to fund a full night of Marie Curie nursing to care for someone with a terminal illness in the comfort of their own home.’

Chris Metcalfe, head teacher atSandringham Primary School said: “We are really pleased to have been able to support Marie Curie. The Great Daffodil Appeal was an excellent opportunity for the whole school community to work together for a worthy cause.’
