Throughout January students prepared and delivered a range of events in the hope of raising a significant amount of money to go to both the development of the sensory room located in the learning support department and towards a charity voted for by all students. 

Both staff and students took part in a Lip Sync battle, where we saw songs ranging from YMCA and Spice Girls to Will Smith and Adele. 

Each year group also set up a charity fair during tutor time where we saw cake sales, penalty shoot out’s and guess the number of sweets in the jar. 

As a result, as a community we raised just over £2000, a fantastic effort and hard work from staff, students, parent/carers and governors.
