As a school, every year, we endeavour to take part and enjoy various enterprise events, themed days and weeks, and charity fundraising days. In addition to these, we:
- participate in Anti-Bullying Week
- participate in Road Safety Weeks and Beep! Beep! Day in Early Years
- participate in Mental Health and Wellbeing days/weeks
- collect food during our Harvest Celebrations which we then use to make hampers and donate to Billingham Food Bank
- hold Christmas Jumper ‘Swap Shops’
- participate in a whole school ‘enterprise’ events – each class design and make items to sell via our Christmas Catalogue – it is like Argos’ ‘Click and Collect’ where the children make the items per order
- take part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day
- participate in World Book Day
Over the years, we have supported a number of charities. Each year, we raise money for a whole school focus charity (suggested by parents and children). Additionally, individual children, classes and year groups raise money or donate money to charities linked to their topics or as suggested through pupil voice.
Every year, Thandigudi day is our main funding raising event to support the child we sponsor in the Goodwill Village in India. Currently our child is called Venktrakaman and left his home due to the lack of rain resulting in his family struggling to grow their crops.
