Here’s your VIP invite to the UK’s biggest Christmas party!
On
Thursday 12 December, Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day is back and we are inviting all students to take part in a Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save the Children. We are hoping that the whole academy will take part and wear a festive knit for the day!
We are asking students to make a £1 donation, or whatever you can give, to help save children’s lives around the world. The money they raise will go to Save the Children, making sure every child, no matter where they were born, has essentials like food and water, healthcare, education, protection and shelter.
All you need to do is wear a festive jumper/top in addition to either the usual school
uniform/business dress and pay a suggested £1 donation.
Please note that students and staff will NOT need to wear a blazer if wearing a Christmas Jumper.As we are a cashless site, we are asking you to make donations via our JustGiving page which can be found through this link

head to your local charity shop to buy a pre-loved festive knit. If you want to get creative and
decorate a jumper, the Christmas Jumper Day website contains lots of fun craft ideas:

Please drop off any donated items to Main Reception or ask your child to pass on to either Mrs Longmore or Mrs Dias in room 108.
We would really appreciate your support to make Christmas Jumper Day a success – it is a great cause, so together, we can make the world better in our sweaters!
