Dear Parents / Carer,

We’re thrilled to announce that Children in Need is just around the corner, taking place on Friday 15th November! This event is always a highlight of our school year, and our Sixth Form students are preparing to go all-out once again with their incredible costumes to raise funds for this worthy cause. You can expect a fantastic display of creativity, colour, and fun as our Sixth Formers dress up as all sorts of characters and parade through school at break time to collect donations.

In addition to the costume parade, we have a special treat for students this year: the chance to throw wet sponges at some brave volunteer teachers during lunchtime! Students can pay a small donation for each throw, making this a fun and memorable way to raise even more for Children in Need.

If you’d like to support this wonderful cause, we’re making it as easy as possible to donate through the school. Donations can be made on the day in our collection buckets, through ParentPay, or even via card, with a card reader available in school.

And don’t forget to keep an eye out for all the wonderfully dressed-up characters making their way to school that day! Thank you in advance for helping us make a difference through Children in Need.

Kind regards

The Charities Team and The Sixth Form Team

The original calendar for this year involved an INSET day on Friday 27th June. However, for various reasons (mainly related to exams and trips to Tynny) it no longer works to hold the INSET day then. Therefore, Friday 27th June will now be a normal school day. Instead, we will finish for the summer holidays on Friday 18th July (as opposed to the original plan of Tuesday 22nd July). Apologies for any inconvenience and please do let your Head of Year know if this causes any major problems.
