FESTIVAL 2025! - 18 December

This year Festival will take place on Thursday 18 December and is an opportunity for the school to work together to raise money for charity. Students nominated charities earlier in the term and these were then shortlisted by the Senior Prefect Team and then voted on by the students, following on from fantastic presentations on the different charities in assembly. The money raised from Sixth Form Cabaret will be combined with the money from Festival to support Great Ormond Street Hospital and LimbPower.

The day will consist of a number of elements. The first is that it will be a non-uniform day. There will be a suggested donation of £3 for this. Money will be collected by form tutors on the day of Festival during  morning registration. If your child wishes to take part in this element of Festival, they should bring in cash and give it to their form tutor.

There will also be stalls run by tutor groups in Years 7 to 12 during the afternoon. These will range from activities and games to food and drink. Forms will compete to raise the most money for charity. Again, this will be cash based and students will therefore need a small amount of money for this.

Students will have the chance to attend a staff v student ‘quiz show’ in the Great Hall during the lunch break. They will also be able to watch the Teachers’ Video at the end of the lunch break, also in the Great Hall. There will be an entry fee for these events and tickets will be sold in advance by the Prefect team.

Festival is a fantastic occasion for the school to come together before the Christmas Holidays and it raises significant sums for charity. We will announce how much has been raised for both Great Ormond Street Hospital and LimbPower at the end of the term.

Thank you for your support with these important fund-raising activities.
