King’s Ely pupils and staff have climbed the height of the Earth’s highest mountain during lockdown - and raised £11,000 for a suicide prevention charity.
The “King’s Ely Mount Everest Challenge” was organised in memory of Captain Sir Tom Moore, to boost morale during lockdown and to raise money for PAPYRUS, a charity which aims to prevent suicide among young people.

THE demolition of three huge tower blocks on the outskirts of Bradford city centre is on track, social housing provider Incommunities has said. Work began shortly before Christmas to demolish the high-rise flats, which are being replaced by more than 100 affordable houses. It included a huge specialist crane being brought onto site to help tear down the imposing towers to make way for a more modern development. Two of the five blocks on the first site have already been demolished with work starting on the third now, which should be reduced to rubble in the next few days, Incommunities said.
