Charitable Activities
It is important that our children learn the positive effect their life choices can have on others in their immediate community and the wider world. In order to make these choices as relevant as possible to the children, we encourage whole school, small group and individual charitable work both at school and at home.
Please find below information of recent achievements in this area.
