As a result of their sponsored walk, along with raising additional funds through home clothes day and donut sales, the total figure raised was a fantastic £15,428.02. The money raised was used to purchase two ambulances in aid of Ukraine, and on Tuesday, 29 April, the ambulances arrived at the school before being driven all the way to Ukraine that same day, and will be in use by this weekend.

Special thanks to all those in the support vehicle, which provided welcome hot food and drinks (Mr Grant, Mr Davenport, and Mrs Wyatt), and to Miss Bowie and Mr Tapper-Gray for indispensable advice and support.    

Thanks also goes to all of our colleagues who joined the students in their walk for Ukraine: Mr Sunner, Mr Barker, Dr Burley, Mr Sutherland, Mrs Thomas, Mr Miller, Mrs Didlick, Dr Chapman, Mrs Chapman, Miss Scott, and Mrs Emmett.  

With sincere thanks, too, to Reverend Ann Peachey and the parishioners of St Laurence’s Rowington for their generous donations and home-made chocolate brownies!
