May 2023 - Lenten Charity Update. The amount that we raised has increased to £3505.98. A truly wonderful amount of money that was donated to Alder Hey. Members of staff and a group of students visited Alder Hey to take the donation and staff there were incredibly grateful and sent us a certificate.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped us to support Alder Hey.

Our Lenten Charity fortnight of fabulous fundraising is complete!

There really have been a wonderful range of activities including; football cards, basketball shoot outs, military parades, guess the rabbit name, guess how many sweets in a jar, guess the number of books in our Library, raffles for various different prizes, film club, music concerts, making and selling keyrings, penalty shoot out, water balloons/soak a teacher, photobooth, Easter hamper, selling LOTS of lollies, a non uniform day and of course a spectacular teacher's head shave at the final hour!

Through all of that we have raised a WHOPPING £3,165.98 in just 10 days. That is absolutely phenomenal and the money raised will be donated to Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust Hospital. You can read more about their wonderful work [here](https://www.alderhey.nhs.uk/).

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken part and supported this event in any way. We couldn't do this without you!!
