Children to get chance to run Bristol School

Description:

A fundraising event scheduled to take place later this month will provide one youngster with the chance to play head teacher.

On March 19th, Stanbridge Primary School is to hold an auction of promises in a bid to generate extra money, the Bristol Evening Post reports.

To be staged by the parent-teacher association, the event will include one lot which will see a pupil at the school become its leader for a day.

As part of the experience, the student will take assembly, go into the staff room and get to control a budget amounting to £20.

In addition to this lot, many things have been donated to the school by organisations including Rolls-Royce - which is a global firm providing power systems for use on land, at sea and in their air - and the BBC.

Also, the services of experts including an electrician, car mechanic and photographer will be for sale at the auction, which is to be staged in the school from 19:15 GMT.
