NORMAL uniform rules were ditched as nearly 400 pupils at a Marlow school raised £822 for Haitian earthquake victims by wearing hats to class.
Danesfield School on Marlow Road holds four 'mufti' days a year to raise money for a new school building.
But the school council, made up of pupils from Years 2 – 6, decided to spurn the chance to wear home clothes to school and had their classmates wear 'hats for Haiti' instead.
Headteacher Derry Lewis said: “Some of the pupils obviously saw what was happening in Haiti and it was a really nice thing for them to think of people thousands of miles away.
“There were lots of baseball caps but one or two wacky ones and a few who made their own which I thought was rally good.”
