In a statement, the school added: “This has been donated to a variety of causes including Mencap, Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice as well as local charities.

“William Telford of Year 10 (Year 11 in September 2014) raised a huge amount of money this year and so was the winner of the overall prize. However, a massive thank-you must be given to all of the pupils, staff and parents who contributed in every way to help the school purchase this vital piece of equipment.”
