As a school with a strong Christian ethos, we actively encourage our children to be aware of the needs of others, to think about how they can respond to help people in situations worse than their own & to realise their responsibilities as citizens.
Aside from the usual Children in Need, Red Nose Day plus our very own Enterprise Project with YMCA White Rose, we have loads of requests to do things for charity in school. Some children will also do charity events in their spare time out of school, but we still ask them to share what they have achieved & make other children aspire to make a difference. Needless to say, we are extremely proud of all that they achieve!!
To hold a charity event at school, children first of all have to pitch their idea to the Headteacher, plan out their event using formal proformas, create a Powerpoint show & then have to present to the school. Only then are they ready to go ahead with the actual event. We find that this process helps our children to think carefully about all of the aspects involved in planning an event as well as shows off their commitment to making something happen! We have children from all age groups getting together to do this – there is no age limit.
Here are just a few of the many amazing things that our children got up to for charity:
Martha for ‘Soph’s 5K Challenge’
Martha McCann plus her Y5 girlfriends put on a non-uniform day & bun sale in January raising a fantastic £222.06 towards ‘Soph’s 5k Challenge’. The money will go to the Children’s Hospital to be used for helping children who have Diabetes Type 1. A massive well done to Martha & her friends for doing this & thank you to everyone who supported the event!
Saint the Tiger!
In November, a group of Y6 boys: Joseph Blanks, Samuel Giles, Sam Bennett & George Brown, held a bun sale plus various competitions to raise money to sponsor a tiger as a school mascot. They managed to raise £54.05 & we now have our very own mascot called Saint! Very well done, boys!
