A Cudworth primary school which raised more than £2,500 to sponsor a guide dog has been nominated for a Proud of Barnsley Award.
Birkwood Primary, decided to adopt the Guide Dogs charity as former pupil Liam White, uses a guide dog after being blind since birth.
Guide dog-to-be Woody, who is four months old, paid a visit to the school last week. Their fundraising efforts have helped to train the yellow labrador and the school has been able to name him.
Headteacher Julie Allen said: "It was really exciting to meet Woody and it was also great to meet his puppy walker Alison and to find out all about the training and what his personality is like. These little things bring us closer to the whole process and it's fascinating."
Dan Wood, deputy head added: "We're really delighted with the community's response; it's extremely generous especially in these difficult times. We think we've done something extremely worthwhile."
