Everyone at St Paul's CE Primary School values the importance of supporting our local community, even more so during such difficult and uncertain times.
For 2023/24 academic year, the children and staff at St Paul's have decided to focus on charities chosen by each class and support these throughout the academic year.
Our chosen charities are:
Reception- Love Amelia
Year 1- Happier Days for Strays
Year 1/2- Hope 4 Kidz
Year 2- Foodbank
Year 3- NSPCC
Year 4- Cancer Research
Year 5- St Benedict's Hospice
Year 6- The Bradley Lowery Foundation
The children have some wonderful ideas how they are going to raise money for their chosen charities ranging from cake sales to football matches and danceathons! We are also looking forward to learning more about our chosen charities and weaving this into writing opportunities so we can share information about each charity beyond our classrooms!
We have had a big push on Courageous Advocacy in school - where it is not the celebrating that raises money, it is awareness. Because of this, we feel the move towards chosen charities rather than charities given to children will have a massive impact on our wonderful pupils.
