Exeter Steiner School is running an appeal to help save it from imminent closure, which would leave over 40 pupils and families without a school the week before Christmas.
The campaign to raise the £20,000 needed is already well underway with over £4,500 raised in the past five days.

Exeter City Ladies booked their place in the FA Women's Cup second round for the first time with a 7-0 victory over Brislington Ladies.
City dominated the first half but only took a single-goal advantage into the interval. But they came out all guns blazing after the break and eventually ran out comprehensive winners.
