Crowds gathered to watch the performances last Friday and just short of £700 was raised for Cancer Research UK and £300 for the schools’ PTA groups.

The schools are part of the Learn Academies Trust and it is thanking everyone who made generous donations on the day and those who made the event possible, including Brickwork Studios, Harborough Market and Creative Harborough.
