Cut for a Cause!

Two sisters in our school demonstrated incredible

courage and selflessness by cutting their hair and

donating it to the Princess Trust, a charity dedicated to

providing real hair wigs for children and young people

who have lost their hair due to medical conditions. Their

thoughtful act not only supports those facing

challenging times but also serves as a powerful

example of courageous advocacy - using their voices

and actions to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Christmas Boxes - Dec 2024

As part of the 'Love Christmas' initiative, children

helped pack Christmas boxes at Saint Mary's Church

to support families in need. Each box included a

thoughtful mix of consumable gifts, such as hot

chocolate, and practical items like fluffy socks to help

keep warm during the winter months. The children also

wrote heartfelt messages of love and hope inside

Christmas cards, adding a personal touch to each box.

Keeping Our School Clean - Helping Others

Stay Safe - Dec 2024

At Bevois Town, we’ve been working hard to keep our

school grounds litter-free. But we know we are

fortunate to have the right equipment to keep us safe

while doing so.

Thanks to your incredible generosity in raising £140,

waste pickers working with VSO in Kenya will also

receive vital protective clothing to help keep them safe.

Every day, women in Kibera and Dandora work on

Africa’s largest dumpsites, facing hazardous conditions

to support their families. Without protective gear, they

risk illness and injury, while also enduring exploitation

and discrimination.

Your donation will help provide essential equipment like

gloves and boots, training to improve their earnings,

and support to create safer working conditions.

Because of your kindness, these women have a greater

chance of securing a safer, more stable future for

themselves and their children. Thank you for making a difference!

Cake Sale - Oct 2024

The Pupil Parliament raised £200 through their cake

sale, which will help fund the purchase of new trees to

be planted in the school grounds. This initiative not only

contributes to improving the beauty our school but also

supports our commitment to global citizenship by

promoting environmental sustainability and clean air for everyone.

Harvest Festival - Oct 2024

As part of our Harvest Festival, families generously

donated food to support the local community. The

donations were given to City Mission, where they will

be distributed through their food banks to help those in

need.

As part of the celebration, Mrs Sadler and her

Gardening Club also harvested some potatoes and a juicy courgette!

Shining a Light on Mental Health

In October, children and staff brightened the school in

yellow to mark Mental Health Awareness Day.

Throughout the day, pupils explored different feelings,

the importance of wellbeing, and the courage to speak

up when concerned about someone's mental health.

The event not only raised awareness but also raised

over £140, which will go towards resources and

playground equipment to support children's mental wellbeing.
