Rio Spurr was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer in April, 2022, and is currently undergoing treatment. Rio, the son of former Sheffield Wednesday’s Tommy Spurr and his wife Chloe, is hoping to join St Mary's in September.
Pupils wore red and had a disco where they could buy wristbands to fundraise for Rio's treatment. The school raised the grand total of £800 and wristbands are still for sale at the school.

"It was lovely to do something fun for him while he is undergoing treatment while also raising money for further treatment."
Since Rio was diagnosed with Wilms tumour he has undergone intensive courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
