On Wednesday 10 December, our school will be taking part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day. We know times are tough, so please remember that whatever you can spare would be greatly appreciated. To make donating easier we have set up a JustGiving page. The minimum donation is £1 (remember, you do not have to add the tip if you do not want to!)

Save The Children JustGiving Page

Save the Children are encouraging people not to buy new jumpers for the day. You could upcycle an old jumper, get crafty or head to your local charity shop to buy a pre-loved festive jumper. If you want to get creative and decorate a jumper, the Christmas Jumper Day website contains lots of fun craft ideas.

This year, donating £2 could buy a packet of seeds for a family in Kenya to grow their own food, after drought has killed their crops, or a combined donation of £160 from our whole school could help train a psychological first aider to help children in Ukraine recover from their traumatic experience. We appreciate your support to make Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day a success. Together, we can make the world better with a sweater.

Students can wear their Christmas jumper over their school shirt and tie; the rest of their uniform should be worn as usual. If they are wearing a Christmas jumper, they do not have to wear their blazer for the day but can do so if they wish. (Students not wearing a Christmas jumper should be in full school uniform).

We are asking that students donate a minimum of £1 which can be collected online or will be collected by form tutors on the morning of Wednesday 10th December.

Thank you for your on-going support of the charitable causes we have supported as a school, and we look forward to seeing all our students wearing their festive jumpers!
