Harleston CEVA Primary School holds the gala every year to raise funding for expenses the school budget can not cover.

Emma Brown, 33, from the Friends of Haleston CEVA, said: 'We had more than 400 people there which is a good turn out when we have 460 pupils at the school. There were a lot of pupils who had brought their parents and grandparents.

'Last year we were able to buy a new stage costing £8,000 as the old one was 20 years old and was uneven.'

The school has been able to buy extra playground equipment and host a number of events for pupils including a year 6 graduation ceremony.
