Staff and students at a primary school have raised nearly £4,000 in memory of a teacher who died in December.

Sarah Stonehouse, 39, taught at Rothley Church of England Primary for more than 16 years.

She was diagnosed with cancer and died on December 13 after being cared for by staff at LOROS hospice, in Groby Road, Leicester.

Since then, pupils and her colleagues have raised more than £3,700 for LOROS through sponsored events including henna tattoos, car washing, finger knitting, non-uniform days, a marathon around the school field, a sponsored run, dog walking and cake making.
