A school was swarmed with spiders, ladybirds and bumblebees in a bid to fight malaria.

Heathland School, in Eastcote Lane, South Harrow, has been raising money for a global project in a community health centre in West Kenya.

Pupils, teachers and staff members crept, crawled and fluttered into classes on Friday, April 17, in their best bug costumes as part of the fundraising efforts.

All money raised will now help to buy mosquito nets to prevent the spread of Malaria in West Kenya, where currently one in five children under five-years-old die from the disease.
