Charity

Our pupils (and staff) get involved in a huge number of charity events every year, helping to riase awareness and much needed funds for many worthy causes – local, national and international.

Supported charities for 2023 and 2024 include Edukid, Macmillan Cancer Care, Movember, BBC Children in Need, Centrepoint, Jay’s Aim, North Devon Hospice and Anti-Bullying Alliance to name just a few.

We are hoping to raise £1,500 this academic year for the charity Jay’s Aim which works to reduce the rate of sudden cardiac death among young people in South-West England. Raising this money would enable us to install a defibrillator with public access and offer community training.

We work closely with our pupils to find out what causes are important to them as well as raising awareness of issues they may not have encountered.

Raising awareness can be just as important as fundraising so we like to have a balance between these two areas.

Visiting speakers are invited in to school to speak to our pupils in chapels and assemblies and we also arrange visits to our local charities to volunteer and support.

We are proud to sponsor the education of Lucky-Peace and Isaac – two children living in poverty in Uganda – through our partnership with Edukid. Edukid’s Global Citizenship Programme educates, empowers and inspires pupils to exercise their roles as global citizens and broadens their understanding of the world.
