iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).We support our local parish community, and mark our Harvest Festival with a Mass in which each member of the school community donates food to be shared among our parish community. The Bits and Bobs club are a team of pupils who sold their crafts, and donated their profits to CAFOD. They have raised £75 for charity last academic year and will be continuing their work this year.
The British Heart Foundation are a charity who fund research into heart health and surgery, ensuring that those in need of surgery on their hearts are given the best treatment possible. They also provide education on heart health and emergency first aid relating to heart related conditions.
This year our pupil led group, Craftopia, are donating profits from their craft selling business to the British Heart Foundation.
