Charitable Giving

CAFOD and Coronovirus 2020 - £500

Year 6 were inspired by a CAFOD workshop to help some of the most needy people in the world. They found out how Coronavirus is affecting communities in South East Asia and wanted to provide face-masks, soap and hand-sanitiser for those who live in these countries. With the help of the other children in the school, they filled a huge water container with loose change, raising £500.00. This will be used to buy PPE and hygiene equipment for communities in Cambodia and Bangledesh.

Lent 2020 Turn Penalties into Pounds - £970.27

Our sports coaches acted as goal keepers as each class was given 15 minutes to score as many penalties as they could. The children were raising money for “Mission to Seafarers” – a charity which helps people in the maritime community by providing emergency assistance and vital support to seafarers in need. Nearly 1000 penalties were scored throughout the day, with Year 4 scoring the most penalties - a total of 158.

As a caring School, we have been thinking of others, either by raising money or sending in gifts for those less fortunate than ourselves. Below you will find information about some of the good causes we have supported recently:

Australian Bush Fire 2020 - £402.78

Year 6 pupils raised nearly £400 for the Red Cross Australian Bush Fire Appeal. The children decided to hold a cake sale after hearing about the terrible fires. They wanted to do something to help put out the fires and make life a little better for all the people and creatures affected. A spectacular amount of money was raised and so many cakes were donated that they enough to hold a second cake sale!

Comic Relief 2020 - £131.62

Children in Need 2020 - £148.85

A very big thank you and well done to all who contributed to the Children in Need fundraising, including our year 5 children who came up with Covid-safe ways of raising money!
