On Friday 20 November, all pupils at Northfield Academy were invited to vote to decide how to best fund activities to enhance the Northfield area for young pupils.

The results have been counted and votes, and funds will be allocated to the following activities:

• AFC Community Trust: School of Football
• Police Scotland & Youth Volunteers: Litter Reduction
• Byron Boxing Club: Fitness Classes
• SHMU: Young People Call the Shots

The AFC Community Trust: School of Football received the most votes. Their proposal and video are attached so you can see how the area will benefit:

Can you help Northfield Academy and its associate primary schools to achieve something very special this Christmas?

On the afternoon of Tuesday 15 December 2015, we are attempting to beat the world record for the longest Christmas cracker chain pull. We have been given permission by Guinness World Records to attempt to set a new world record and we plan to have 1000 pupils and staff involved.

Northfield Academy is working with STV to raise funds for the STV appeal and every person who takes part in the attempt to be a record breaker will be asked to give a donation.

How can you help? We need crackers. Whether you can donate 20 or 200, your support will be hugely appreciated.
