Charity Begins at School
More than £3,000 will be donated to charity by Manor House School in 2007.
The school is strongly committed to charitable causes and to giving pupils a sense of social responsibility.
Headteacher Ian Clews said: “It is important that pupils recognise that there are many people in the world less fortunate than themselves. It is all part of our philosophy that we are a caring community.
For a school of its size, Manor House does very well to raise between £3,000 – 4,000 a year.”
In 2007, the school rounded off its charitable donations by filling more than 100 shoeboxes with gifts for deprived children overseas. The boxes were sent to Romania in time for Christmas.
The Christmas box project has been running at Manor House for the last four years.
During the year, pupils donated proceeds from their harvest festival celebrations, concerts and other events to charities including LOROS and Rainbows.
The school’s annual Readathon also boosted funds for sick children.
