A JUBILEE-themed swimathon held at Wellington Junior School raised a whopping £3,000 for charity.

The imagination capturing event raised much-needed cash for Save our Soldiers and the Sierra Leona Community Cellar Project.

Hardy pupils and staff almost doubled their target of 60 miles as they splashed up an incredible 118.

Without meaning to sound rude, why is it every week the Wellington section of the newspaper appears to be dedicated to this one school?Other local schools also have things going on too!
