Charity Work & Community Service
As a school we feel it is important for our pupils? development that they are ready to help those less fortunate than themselves. Each form raises money for the school charity, which the girls choose by a whole-school vote. In addition there are many other one-off fund-raising initiatives in response to charity appeals throughout the school year. Girls in Year 10 undertake periods of Community Service such as working in local charity shops, primary schools or visiting the elderly, and many choose to continue this in the Sixth Form.
