What a FANTASTIC year of fundraising at Pocklington Prep School! The whole school took
part in a huge Coffee Morning to support Macmillan Cancer Support. Charity Reps and
helpers were selling cakes outside to the children on the playground and teachers and staff
were selling cakes to the parents in the hall. There was a great atmosphere and a lot of
delicious food everywhere!
The Charity Reps hosted three super assemblies and we were also visited by Mia from
the York Dementia Society. The Reps shared the work that British Heart Foundation
do. How Ward 51 both saved and changed the lives of Ella Smith and Mrs Cliff's baby,
Toby. They also celebrated Will Briggs in his amazing efforts for raising money outside
of school for St Leonard's Hospice which is a favourite charity for many people in our
Foundation.
The highlight of the year was the School Walk. Every person in the Foundation
walked a set distance and it really was remarkable to see how well the children
managed this. What was even
more impressive was how much
money and enthusiasm went into
gaining sponsorship for this
event. The children raised a
HUGE amount of money for
their houses and it was a big job
keeping track of the money as it
came flooding in.
I am extremely grateful to my team of
Reps. They have worked incredibly hard
and I am looking forward to seeing
what they will plan next year!
