St Anne’s Academy had a full school visit to Chester Zoo.
The school secured the tickets from the zoo last year and spent months fundraising to cover the cost of transport including a sponsored car wash which was helped by Buxton Fire Station and a fundraising walk.
A spokesperson for the school said: “What an amazing day the whole school had at the zoo.
“A huge thank you Chester Zoo for our tickets. It was an experience the children will never forget.
“Also, a big thank you to everyone who donated money to help pay for the coaches to get us there and back safely.
"The Sponsored Stomp was a great success and we had an amazing family who raised a lot of money by doing a car wash.
“Thank you to Friends of St Annes CVA, Buxton, who ensured none of the children got lost by purchasing the high viz.
“And finally, a huge thank you to Mrs Dodd, who helped make all this happen!
“All in all, it was a fantastic day and a memory that will stay with our children forever.”
Thank you to the school for sending in the pictures – it looked like you had a great time.
