Year 10 Charity Sleep-Out

Last night, 44 students in Year 10 slept out under the stars, along with 5 members of staff, to raise funds for Off The Fence, their yeargroup’s dedicated charity.

The charity’s founder, Paul Young, came to meet them at the start of the evening, and thank them generously for all they have done to support the charity over the course of the year.

The girls had a simple supper of dhal, and then set up where they were going to sleep. They played some football and chatted, and then some opted to sleep under a tarpaulin, but most just settled down to sleep gazing up at the stars.

Over the year, Year 10 have raised just under £6000, and this experience will give them some small idea of what it might be like to sleep outside.

Well done!
