KIND-hearted pupils at a Cradley Heath school have been awarded a shield for raising the most money for last year’s poppy appeal for the fifth year running.

Members of Cradley Royal British Legion visited Reddal Hill Primary School to present the award last week.

Assistant headteacher John Stokes said 'We are extremely proud to have won this award for the fifth year running.

“We fully support this extremely worthwhile cause and everyone at Reddal Hill recognises the importance of remembering those who have been lost or injured during conflicts.'
