Your stories

We'd like to say a huge thank you to all the schools who were able to join us on Friday 3 December for Number Day 2010. We hope your school had lots of fun celebrating sums and raising valuable funds for children. One lucky school won £1,000 courtesy to our sponsor of Number Day 2010, Vosene Kids.

Southend High School for Girls

Countdown's Rachel Riley hosted a maths lesson for 10 schools at Southend High School for Girls raising a fantastic £180.92

"Our school chose to take part in NSPCC Number Day because it is such a worthwhile cause, especially as it's for children. The resources are excellent and readymade. It was great to have the profile of maths raised for the day and the whole school involved in inter- school competitions whilst raising money for charity." Sarah Imbush, head of maths, Southend High School for Girl
