It was a star-studded night for Greenbank Preparatory School parents at their annual dinner dance.

In an evening dedicated to famous actors, tables were assigned to the celluloid greats of the silver screen with tributes to Bette Davis, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep and other cinematic icons. The evening raised more than £3,600 for the award- winning independent primary school in Cheadle Hulme, which has twice won the Independent Schools' Association's National Eco School of the Year and been placed as one of the top ten value for money schools in the UK by The Times and The Telegraph newspapers. Organiser and local lawyer Nicola Buchanan said: 'All the parents share a common bond and love for raising money and the proverbial roof for a school we all appreciate.'
