Working with our local community to help people in need is very important. To that end, we teamed up with Ivybridge Link, a local food pantry. Students were encouraged to donate non-perishable food items and toiletries. This campaign ran from Monday 12 – Friday 16 December.
Essential food items required by the food bank included:

All donations were collected by their Form Tutors, House & Citizenship Ambassadors and Senior House Ambassadors during morning registration. The foodbank was so grateful for the amount of items raised.
