Charities
Charity Work
During our House Communion, which was held last October, we supported "Cherry Trees" and in total we collected £415.
All the U3 completed the U3 Spellathon organised by Ashcombe and did extremely well. The girls collected £1956 in sponsor money for “The Alzheimer’s Society”, “Kidscape” and “Help for Heroes”. This was absolutely fantastic! Well done everybody!
Also, from the Ashcombe cake sale, £115 was given to "Raise the Roof".
The Open Day Quiz raised £125 for 'Wateraid'. Many thanks to the Charity Prefects and all the others who helped for organising these events
