Every year we raise money for the charities listed below. This may be done by holding a non-uniform day, making things in class to sell, or sponsored events and fun days. We also sell poppies for the Royal British Legion every year and hold a special Remembrance collective worship. For Comic Relief, we raise money by selling noses, as well as having a non-uniform funday. We also support local charities such as St Cuthbert’s Care and Woodhouse Close food bank. Our support for these charities encourages our children to think about the situations of others, other cultures and contemporary issues in society.
