Citizenship Day 2024

June 21, 2024

Citizenship Day is an important day in our school calendar. It’s a time for us to come together and consider our role in our local and global community.

Activities today have very much reflected this and provided opportunities for discussion, creativity and connection. Years 7-10 worked in mixed groups to create origami birds and blackout poems, whilst Year 12 students undertook training to be Wellbeing Ambassadors from September.

A huge part of today has been celebrating 20 years of our WithGambia partnership. Pupils and staff have walked, run, skipped and tackled obstacles to raise money through sponsorship. We have reached over £12,000 already – a huge thank you to all those who have donated.

The arrival of sunshine was very welcome and only added to what was a thoroughly enjoyable and positive day.
