PUPILS celebrated their last day at secondary school on Friday and handed over a cheque for more than a thousand of pounds for charity.
Sixth-formers at Oxted School dressed up as their favourite childhood characters to wave goodbye to education at the Bluehouse Lane school.
They were also celebrating raising £1,323.15 as part of RAG (raising and giving) week to be split between two charities.
The students had organised numerous events to raise money for Matthew's Friends – which focuses on all aspects of dietary treatments for epilepsy – as well as Cancer Research UK in memory of Sue Richardson, the former Oxted School science teacher who died in 2012.
Student Layla Doyle, 18, said: "We chose Matthew's Friends because it's a charity that we, as a school, have close links to.
"And we chose Cancer Research in memory of Mrs Richardson and because we feel that cancer is something a lot of people have been effected by, whether it be directly or indirectly."
Students presented a cheque for £661.58 to Emma Williams, founder and chief executive of the Matthew's Friends charity in the Year 13 leavers assembly.
Events that took place during in RAG Week included a Staff v Sixth Form Hockey Match, a Staff v Sixth Form Football Match, a bean bath for the head boy, head girl and teachers, as well as a sixth form man auction.
