CHARITY WORK

The girls elect charity representatives within each year group who are then responsible for co-ordinating the chosen charity project of their year group.

A wealth of charities is supported throughout the year. The work undertaken by the girls is seen as a valuable part of the life skills programme helping them to understand world issues and care for others.

The charities we have supported this are:

We have received the “Eco – School” Bronze award in recognition of our achievements in working towards a sustainable lifestyle. In conjunction with this, girls across the year groups have raised money to buy unusual gifts from the Good Gifts Catalogue. By selecting gifts from “Good Gifts” our money has bought four goats to help villagers in developing countries look after themselves, a budgerigar as a comfort to an old person. 12m² of greenbelt which will then be protected from developers by an enduring order and preserved for our heirs. We are to continue with this work and a sapling has been planted to acknowledge our work by the Good Gifts Company.

Bradford Listening for life

Last year we supported the Bradford Listening for life appeal which aimed to raise money to build a centre dedicated to research and help the profoundly deaf. This Year, we have been commissioned as a school to design and create a sculpture to stand in pride of place outside the new centre. The winning sculpture will be revealed shortly – watch this space!
