Miss Wareing and Mrs Beesley are running a collection for the Salvation Army this Christmas. They are asking all students to donate any of the following items by bringing them into school and taking them to their Year Leader's office (with the exception of Year 9 who should take donations to Mr Morton's office). All donations need to be in school by Friday 11th December and examples include -
- Tinned food
- Packets of food (such as pasta, rice and cereal)
- Toiletries
- Scarfs
- Hats and gloves
