The newly trimmed headteacher of Alma Primary, Marc Shoffren, raised over £2,000 for his school in a sponsored Lag ba’Omer haircut.
The minor festival is traditionally a time for the barber with the lifting of the prohibition against shaving during the semi-mourning period of the Omer.
During the week Alma’s reception class first got to colour the head’s hair (see above) and class one to style it in reward for their fundraising efforts.
Then on Friday out came the scissors with year 3, which raised the most overall, offered the first cut.
