Charities and Outreach
|
We are committed to making a meaningful contribution to communities beyond our school. Our work in charities and outreach benefits those we support, while also enriching the wellbeing, perspective, and personal development of our boys. Community engagement is therefore central in our approach to character education and remains a vital part of school life.
|
We talk often with pupils about the importance of community, and how individual contributions can make a meaningful difference, whether through giving time or raising vital funds. We are proud to be dedicating more time to this important work, strengthening our commitment and extending our support to an ever wider audience. Our Head of Charities and Outreach, Mr Herod, is proud to lead an inspiring programme that benefits both pupils and the wider community. |

Supporting wellbeing
We strive to help others while encouraging our boys to develop a strong sense of belonging beyond school, alongside a commitment to service and kindness, and to put these values into practice both during their time as pupils and throughout their lives.
