Wellfield Academy has raised over £300 in memory of their former pupil Jordan Thomas, known as JT, who passed away from sepsis at the age of 25.

In honour of Jordan's memory and to raise awareness about the dangers of sepsis-a condition that can escalate rapidly and often goes unrecognised - the school organised a five-a-side football tournament, and hosted a charity non-school uniform day last week.
