We have a very proactive Senior School Charity Committee who regularly meet to consider an debate which charities to support.  The pupils have the responsibility of inviting representatives from the charities to talk in our morning assemblies.  Once a charity is selected, it will become our charity for the term and all fund raising wil be concentrated on them.

Additionally the Junior School sells cakes, usually on the first Friday of each month, to raise money for two children we are currently sponsoring through World Vision.  Classes take turns to bake at home and then sell at school.
