The Senior and Junior Schools celebrated our annual Toy services this week. Mr Smith and Rev’d Ruth Pyrke delivered talks on the value of giving and how we can be a gift to one another. At the end of the services, during the final hymn, pupils brought up their toys and we were all touched by just how many toys were donated. Thank you to everyone who brought in toys to support the Salvation Army appeal this Christmas. Items are given to families suffering hardship in the Medway area, ensuring that children have something to unwrap on Christmas Day. It is a very worthwhile cause and teaches our pupils how blessed we are to have so much and the value of giving.
