Sixth Formers have raised almost £2,500 for charity.
Year 13 students at Steyning Grammar School took part in the school's annual "Jailbreak" event, raising £2,468 for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).
The event, which has become a tradition every December for more than 40 years, involves students dressing up in a variety of costumes before heading out onto High Streets across the area to collect money.
This year, the costume themes were varied, with students dressing up as characters from The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Toy Story and Christmas elves.
After leaving the college campus in Shooting Field, students travelled across Steyning High Street on vintage buses, tractors and trailers, cheered on by local people and shoppers.

They then spread out to surrounding towns and villages to continue their fundraising efforts.
The funds raised will be used by the NSPCC to support local children and to fund the charity’s Childline counselling service.
Headteacher Aidan Timmons said, "Our annual Jailbreak event is a perfect opportunity for our fantastic sixth formers to demonstrate how much they act as a community showing solidarity and support for the wonderful work of the NSPCC.
"We are so proud of how they put themselves out there in an attempt to raise awareness highlighting how much young people care about the future and betterment of society."
