For the third consecutive year, School Council members assembled food hampers to present to the elderly within our community. All members of the academy were encouraged to donate non-perishable food items, shoe boxes and gift wrapping to council members. Council members have been instrumental in putting up posters, speaking directly to their year groups to promote the project and have also assisted in collecting food donations from tutor groups. Special thanks to Pearl Davis and Amina Khan, Parent Governors, for their time, support and donations.
