Freddie
Congratulations to Freddie (Year 6) who encouraged the school community to donate coats to homeless people on behalf of the charity The Genesis Trust. Freddie chose the charity after seeing homeless people sleeping in tents over the winter months and wanted to do something to help. He worked alongside the Eco Committee in school to create awareness. Freddie said he ‘felt proud that he could help and support others in need’. The school community worked together to donate a generous number of coats to The Genesis Trust.
Well done Freddie!

Eleanor and Thomas
Eleanor (Year 5) and Thomas (Year 3) took on a meaningful challenge by participating in the Race for Life in Salisbury, raising money for Cancer Research UK.
They chose to raise money for Cancer Research UK as loved ones close to them have been affected by Cancer. The siblings completed the race alongside their Mum and Dad raising an inspiring £700.
Thomas shared, ‘We felt really good for taking part, even though we were tired running it made us feel happy for raising money’.
Eleanor added ‘It gave us a reason to run and joyful for raising so much money for a good cause for better research into Cancer’
Well done to you both!
