Community News & Fund Raising
Our community is simply amazing, and here is where we can show some of it off to you.
As a federation, we are well aware of the demands on parents financially and, whilst we do support a few charity events throughout the year, we try to keep it realistic and attempt to avoid asking for too many things.
That is why this page exists.
People wanting to support others is an incredible thing and should be encouraged, and this page is all about linking you to charitable ventures that adults and children from our community are supporting.
If you wish to put something up on here, please use the contact form at the bottom - or speak with one of us. With a bit of input from yourselves (photo and blurb), we will put something on this page and link it on ClassDojo, hopefully supporting by sharing it with our parents and carers - You can also always share the link on other social media platforms for more exposure.
Equally, if you have recently done something amazing in a charity-related way then we can help to celebrate this on this page to show how incredible you are!
Harlee and Holly donate their hair!
A huge well done to Harlee and Holly who have cut their hair to donate and raise money for the Little Princess Trust. Hair is such a huge part of our identity and it is wonderful to have two members of our school community who have felt that they are able to make a change to their own to positively impact someone else.
The Little Princess Trust is a charity that started in 2005, with the aim of helping children and young people who have lost their hair through cancer treatment and other conditions. They are able to take donated hair, from people like Harlee and Holly, and create real hair wigs. They also use the money they raise to fund childhood cancer research - searching to find kinder and more effective treatments.
If you would like to support Harlee or Holly, please use the information below:
Harlee – please contact myself or Mr South as Harlee does not have an online link for sponsorship.
Well done Harlee and Holly!
Brain Tumour Research - Joel Rukundo
A message from Joel and his older brother Eli:
We are two brothers who raise money for brain tumour research UK, a charity close to our hearts that needs money to fund research to help find a cure for brain tumours.
We are going to attempt to complete inflatable obstacle courses on 12 Oct 2024. Eli is doing 15k with 92 obstacles with the support of his cousin and Joel 5k with 32 obstacles with the support of our mum (which everyone says is worth sponsorship in its own right!)
Our Dad has been fighting glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain tumour, for the past 5 years. We have seen him go through two large operations, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and we hope in the future there will be more treatment available to help him fight his battle against this horrible disease.
We are so proud of our Dad, our hero, whose strength and determination is incredible. He inspires us to keep supporting this amazing and worthwhile charity in the hope they can help him more in the future.
Please sponsor us and help us in our cause.
We wish Joel and his family luck with their events and will hopefully share some photographs of a muddy Joel following the event!
Mrs Prince does the Shine Half Marathon Walk
On Saturday 21st September 2024, I will be taking part in the Cancer Research Shine Walk in London with my mum and cousin. Like many people, my life has been affected supporting family members with their battles with cancer. I walk to raise money to support those currently battling cancer; to celebrate those who have won their battle; and to remember those who were not successful in their battle.

Thank you in advance for any sponsorship to support a charity that assists so many people on their own personal cancer journeys.
Update: I completed the walk in under 5 hours and have raised over £200 to support Cancer Research. Thank you to the families for their kind donations - it is very much appreciated.
UPDATE - Tallulah has had her hair cut! Please see the photo below to see how much she has had cut off. Well done Tallulah, great work and lots of money raised.
Tallulah goes for the chop to help children with cancer!
Tallulah in Hippo class is going to cut at least 12inches of her beautiful hair off to give to children who have lost their hair through cancer. The charity she is doing this for is called Little Princess Trust. They use human hair to make wigs for children who have lost their hair through cancer and other illnesses. It can cost £550 just to make one wig! She will be getting it cut on 23rd March. Please donate as much or as little as you can, it is going to an amazing charity and Tallulah would be so proud if she can raise a lot of money.
