LORETO Grammar School's religious education teacher Cheryl Miller invoked the spirit of David Bowie at a charity concert for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Cheryl was the headline act among the multi-talented school performers from the Altrincham school.

The concert raised more than £1,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Cheryl sported Bowie's Aladdin Sane-style face paint for her performance.

She said: “The girls know I like to sing so it couldn't be avoided. I would have liked to sing some David Bowie but instead I played to the audience and sang some JustIn Bieber, though the 'flash' was my own homage.”

The event was supported by former pupil and former school charity representative Sabina Ruta, who returned to her old school five years after setting up Loreto's association with Teenage Cancer Trust.

Now Teenage Cancer Trust's North West regional fundraiser, Sabina, who helped organised the fundraising events when she was a sixth form student, worked with current sixth form charity representatives Kirsten McNally and Elizabeth Green to make the event extra special.

Sabina said: “Seven young people are diagnosed with cancer every day and Teenage Cancer Trust works to provide specialist services and staff and to put young people with cancer in touch with each other.”

This year's charity representative, Kirsten McNally, said: “We would like to thank all the performers who all gained a rousing reception from the girls, but especially Miss Miller, who was the fans' favourite.”
