Pupils have been busy nominating which charities will benefit from fundraising activities throughout this school year.
The new School Council for the Pre-Preparatory School chose Kent Air Ambulance, while 177 staff and pupils in the Senior School and 171 in the Preparatory School took part in a vote, each having the chance to cast three votes each. Perhaps not unsurprisingly, the winning charity for both Prep and Senior Schools was Cancer Research UK – a matter close to everyone’s hearts following the loses of members of our school community in the Spring.
The first event to raise funds takes place on Friday 18th October when pupils will be encouraged to wear pink for breast cancer.
