Charity
Every year we choose a charity to support and have raised over £80,000 in the last ten years! Students spend the year putting on a number of different events to raise money for the charity.
2024/25 – Safeline
House Celebration Day
Students and staff wear their house colours as part of non uniform day. The day has three key events, the House run 4 Stanborough, the whole school walk and the House fayre.
Run 4 Stanborough – Students from year 7 to the sixth form compete in the house run around the Stanborough north lake. I
Whole school walk – Students not competing in the run complete a walk around both Stanborough lakes.
House fayre – After the run and walk, students return to school to find the House fayre. There are lots of activities for students to participate in with music in the background. The fayre ends with our gunging ceremony, where lucky members of staff get gunged!
