The Pupil Council have counted all the money that was raised from the collections we had during both of our Christmas Celebrations at Broughton St. Mary’s church last term.
The final total raised was £207.48!
The Pupil Council have decided they would like to donate this to Cancer Research UK.
Huge thanks to everyone who gave towards the collections, and thanks also to our Pupil Council for counting it all up and choosing such a worthy cause!

We held our traditional singalong of Christmas Carols on the last day of term.
All the lights are turned off, and we create our own light using torches-(they also help us read our song words!)
What a lovely way to start the Christmas holidays!
We had a House Morning on Friday 4th December, where we worked together in our House Groups, using sustainable materials to create winter crafts. Some were sold at our very successful PSA Christmas Cafe, but we had a sale on Monday 21st December in school of those left over from the Cafe.
We managed to raise £64.35! Thanks to all for your hard work creating the crafts, and to all those who bought something!
