At the start of term, School Council decided that our fundraising efforts this year should go towards a new set of laptops for our computing lessons. The target we set was £10,000 and we’re pleased to announce that thanks to some very generous donations, and the proceeds of Funky Hair Day, the Halloween Disco and the Christmas Fayre, we have now reached our goal.

Please can we say a huge thank you to the Stevenage Community Trust, the Learning Circle and Propak for their generous donations, along with everyone else who supported our events or donated to our Crowdfunder page. As a result of these brilliant efforts, we will have our new equipment in place during the Spring term.

Elsewhere this term, our non-uniform day collected £190 for Children in Need, our coffee afternoon raised £110 for Macmillan Cancer Support, our non-uniform day for Mental Health raised £160 and all of the poppies and badges we sold brought in £65 for the Royal British Legion. Again, a big thank you to everyone who helped us to support these fantastic charities.
