Crew Spencer/Crew Dufton – Litter pick DOFE

 

This morning, Crew Spencer and Crew Dufton rolled up their sleeves and took part in a litter-picking session as part of their stewardship responsibilities. The activity not only demonstrated their commitment to caring for their local environment but also contributes towards their Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award.

Working together as a team, the students showed great effort and enthusiasm, taking pride in making a visible difference in the area. Stewardship is a core part of our values, and this morning’s activity highlighted the positive impact our Crews can have when they work together for a shared goal.

Well done to everyone involved—this is a fantastic example of leadership, teamwork, and community spirit in action!

Crew Rosa Parkes

Crew White’s Bake Sale Raises Nearly £200!

Yesterday, Crew White held a bake sale to raise funds for their chosen charity, The Eve Merton Trust. Alongside a delicious selection of baked goods like brownies, cookies, and flapjacks, we also sold hot chocolates topped with cream and marshmallows, which were a big hit!

Thanks to the hard work of Crew members and the generosity of everyone who came along, we raised nearly £200 for the charity.

A big thank you to everyone who baked, bought treats, or enjoyed a hot chocolate. Crew White is proud to support The Eve Merton Trust and its amazing work.

Christmas Jumper Day – Thursday 12th December

Shaun the Sheep is helping us make Christmas Jumper Day 2024 the best day ever!

As the charity’s new ‘Head of Wool’, Shaun has collaborated with Save the Children to make the world better with a sweater and wants children across the UK to join the flock

Christmas Jumper Day will take place on the 12th December 2024.

Put on your favourite Christmas jumper, donate £2 to Save the Children and help kids everywhere get the best future ever.

On the same day, the school kitchen will be cooking Christmas dinner for staff and pupils and our fabulous PE department are running a ‘Santa Dash’ (so please also bring a Santa hat for the day).

If you can, please donate via our school just giving page rather than bringing in cash in on the day.

Looking forward to seeing you in your Christmas jumpers.
