Community service and Charity Fund Raising

Students who choose not to join our Combined Cadet Force participate in our community outreach scheme, which allows students to put something back into the local community while undertaking responsibilities and developing leadership skills.

We offer a range of opportunities in this area: volunteering as a classroom assistant or sports assistant at local Primary schools is a popular option, as are working with local charities, retirement homes and conservation programmes.

Equally important is our charity fundraising programme.  We think it essential that our pupils look beyond their immediate environment and that they develop a sense of social duty to those less fortunate. Pupils organise a number of fund raising activities throughout the year and large amounts of money have been raised for a variety of causes, locally, nationally and internationally. 

The Senior School charity committee meets regularly to consider various appeals and to plan future events and has in recent years supported a wide range of causes, from Great Ormond Street Hospital to a Romanian orphanage.
