ISI Inspection Report: ‘Excellent’, ‘Excellent’ School Charities of the Year chosen

Our Student Council met, with over 30 students in attendance, to review the nominations and vote on our two Charities of the Year for 2022-23.

All of the applications were presented to the students and they voted on the charities they wished to support this year.

We are pleased to announce that our two chosen charities are Cash for Kids and WISHH (Working Independently Supporting Hull Hospitals). During the course of the year we plan to fund-raise with our students in support of these two charities.
