There was great excitement for a 2km Santa Run around the playing field at William Alvey School in Sleaford on Saturday.

Unable to plan their usual Christmas Fair due to the pandemic, the PTA put on this outdoor event, raising about £1,000. Nearly 100 entries got a Santa hat and limited edition gold medallion. Overall winner was Thomas Cragg, KS2 winner: William Barclay, KS1 winner: Thomas Bewick, Best Dressed: Rylee Mansfield and the Blake Family

Children could visit Santa in his grotto at the outdoor classroom for a present, with carols sung by parent Chris Clark. Stalls included a hamper raffle and decorating a gingerbread figure.
