STAFF, pupils and parents at a Shafton school have dug extra deep this Christmas.

Outwood Academy has been another designated drop-off point for Hallam FM’s Mission Christmas appeal, which asked people to donate presents to help families in need.

A record number of gifts have been handed in at the school, with dozens donated by the generous community.

“We were delighted to be supporting the appeal and we’re so proud of everyone involved with the school who has donated gifts,” a spokesman from the school said.

“It’s been a record-breaking year and we’ve had all sorts of presents dropped off by staff, parents, pupils and members of the public.”
