   This year our chosen charity is Help for Heroes. This is particularly close to our hearts due to the support we as a school have had from parents and their families within the services.  We aim to raise as much as we can and have decided to channel this into a specific aspect of the charity, one which is local and providing invaluable support to all who make sacrifices to fight for our country and others.

   Tedwoth House is based in Tidworth. In short, it is a Personnel Recovery and Assessment Centre. This is a relatively new project which enables our wounded to get back to what they do best! We could not support a better cause than this. You can find out more about Tedworth House by visiting:~

    We will be having a "Remembrance Day" Assembly on the eleventh, of the eleventh, at the eleventh hour. This will begin at 10:30am with a visit from Bernice Brady, our local representative and the Wiltshire Co-ordinator. from Help for Heroes. Please join us if you can. In addition we will be visiting Tedworth House so we can get an insight as to the depth of their work there.

   There are many ways and events in which we can raise money for Tedworth House. but as always are open to parents suggestions and ideas. If anyone has experience of fundraising for the charity, we would very much appreciate your input.

~ Our fundraising will begin at the Christmas Fayre where there will be a stall in honour of our Heroes.

~ All proceeds from the Christmas Concert will go directly to Tedworth House.

~ Charity week in May will be dedicated to Help 4 Heroes.

In addition we are hoping to organise a large scale event if possible. We thank you in advance for your support.
