On the 29th March over 50 pupils and over 20 staff took part in a sponsored fast to raise awareness (and money) for the Disaster Emergency Committee Appeals for the food crises in East Africa and in Yemen.
The response was overwhelming with a total of £2426.50 being raised. The school has split the money down the middle with each appeal receiving £1213.25.
The experience brought the pupils closer together and gave us all a little insight into the horror that millions of people are experiencing. The numbers of pupils taking part and the money raised was heartening and humbling in equal measure. The generosity from the community has been truly astonishing! Thank you!
