JUMPING children have been raising money for heart disease research. Pupils at Sunninghill Preparatory School in Dorchester held a jump-off' in aid of the British Heart Foundation.

They were sponsored to spend their PE lessons skipping.

Head of PE Kate Gerrard said: "The jump-off has given our pupils a reason to get moving and the opportunity to try an activity they do not often get to do.

"It's a fantastic event for the school, teachers and pupils."
