BALLOONS floated above an Oxford school as a charity day proved a soaraway success.
Pupils at Rye St Antony, in Headington, put on a series of events yesterday to raise money for the NSPCC and children’s charity All As One.
The annual charity day, organised by pupils from the school’s Stonor house, raised £740.
About 200 balloons were released at a £1 each with the aim of seeing which one travels the furthest.
Seven-year-old Alice Steven pictured left with Lalage Anderson said: “I just put my name and did some colouring-in and a heart. It looked beautiful.”
