Junior School Fundraising for Charity

The Junior School has a very successful fundraising programme that takes place throughout the academic year. All the Junior School children get involved in the various fundraising events and the staff ensure that the children understand the meaning behind the activities. Representatives from the charities are invited into the Junior School Assembly, once prior to the event where they talk about their respective charities and how any money raised will be used, and then again after the event has taken place, when they are presented with the cheques.
