Wet sponges were thrown at a councillor and headteacher during a fun day at a Wigan school
Large numbers of people turned out for a Wigan school’s fun day and sports day.
Staff and volunteers at Aspull Our Lady's RC Primary School served drinks and burgers, while pupils ran stalls, raffles and a tombola.


Headteacher Antony Creagan and Coun Chris Ready took to the stocks, where they were met with wet sponges, while families also enjoyed bouncy castles and ice cream.
Mr Creagan said: "A huge thank you to all the staff, volunteers, pupils, parents and supporters who helped make the day such a great success. The community spirit on display was amazing and we're delighted with the funds raised for the school. Special thanks also to Coun Chris Ready for sharing the stocks with me!"


Coun Ready added: "It's days like this that make you proud to be ingrained in our special community. Seeing everyone come together, having fun and supporting the school was wonderful. Congratulations to Antony, all the staff, volunteers and pupils for putting on such a fantastic event."
