Two parents are taking part in an unusual challenge to get a school fundraising project on the right track.

Rupert Chambers and Mike Morgan aim to visit all 275 London Underground stations in 24 hours, as part of a bid to raise £12,000 for computer equipment at Upton CE Primary.

The sponsored attempt, on April 20, is part of a series of imaginative fundraising events being planned by the friends group at the school.

The aim of project www. classroom is to put networked computers in every class, along with ceiling-mounted projectors. This will mean staff can use the internet as a teaching aid, as well as playing DVDs and give presentations.

Mr Chambers, chairman of the friends, said they were looking forward to getting stuck into a new project, after previously raising £16,000 to buy new drama and lighting equipment. They hope to reach their target for project www.classroom by summer 2006.

"It's another challenge that we can do," said Mr Chambers. "We're looking forward to getting the money and getting things up and running.

"It's a good positive project that's going to benefit those that are at the school now and those coming in over the next few years."

Fundraising kicks off with a fashion show at the school on March 8, where there will be a chance to buy the clothes being modelled. Admission is £1 adults and 50p children.

Other events include a quiz night for children and adults on May 20, the school's annual summer barbecue and fete in July, as well as several car boot sales between March and November.

Headteacher Mark Mumby said: "These developments in ICT are a major part of our school improvement planning.

"As well as meeting our aim of ensuring that our school is an exciting place in which to learn, with high quality resources, we're also ensuring that our children have immediate access to the latest technology to support their learning. The improved efficiency for administration is an added bonus."
