A PRIMARY school head teacher has made an unusual appeal for more people to do their Christmas shopping online, and make money for the school at the same time.
Jo Williams, of Wilsons Endowed School in Over Kellet, was behind the launch of a shopping website through which the school can receive about 2 per purchase. Mrs Williams said the same products could be bought through its website as on other sites but part of the proceeds went to the school.
"If you wanted to buy a book from Amazon (a bookselling site), it would cost you the same but if you did it through our site, we would get some money."
The actual amount given to the school depends on the products purchased. Companies selling through the site include Marks and Spencer, Oddbins and the RAC. The site is www.buy.at/OverKellet.
