We are delighted to support various appropriate Charities throughout the School year.
We believe that this is an important part of the Children’s education & Christian ethos.
The contributions from our Children & their families are entirely voluntary.
Unfortunately we are unable to support all requests from charities & other good causes as we receive numerous each month, we may not be able to reply to requests.
Details of whole School charity support is given below-
