Pupils and teachers will be scaling a climbing wall over a 24-hour period to raise money for people suffering from leprosy.

The event at Cokethorpe School, Witney, will recreate the Three Peaks Climbing Challenge, during which competitors climb the summits of the three highest mountains in Great Britain.

On Saturday, May 12, the students will be sponsored to cover the combined distance by climbing up the school's own 26ft climbing tower.

Spokesman Julia Cantwell said: "The attempt will be the main focus of a charity drive organised by Year Seven."
