Staff and pupils on Bright For Sight Day

Christ Church Primary School in Tettenhall held a charity Bright for Sight Day to raise money for Beacon Centre for the Blind in Wolverhampton.

Decorations were put up in the school's hallways and the charity also delivered a special assembly.

Lucy McWilliams, spokeswoman for the school, said: "Christ Church Juniors recently undertook in partnership with Beacon Centre for the Blind to celebrate Bright for Sight Day.

"The school community came together in support of individuals with sight loss, and it was a truly inspiring event.

"On the designated day, all of our bright young learners arrived at school wearing their most vibrant clothes.

"The hallways were filled with a wonderful array of colours, creating an atmosphere of positivity and inclusivity.

"This visual representation of support was coupled with a fundraising effort, raising £175 towards the cause.

"It was heart-warming to witness the generosity and empathy displayed by our students.

"We recognised that bright colours and good contrast can greatly impact individuals with sight loss, helping to improve their quality of life.

"To further enhance our students' understanding of this important issue, we invited Beacon to deliver a special assembly.

"The assembly provided our children with valuable insight into why we participate in Bright for Sight Day and the real-world impact of their contributions.

"It was a powerful and thought-provoking experience for all involved."
