Helping the people of Ukraine
Our thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives have been turned upside down, especially the children. Our pupils have all designed a sunflower - the
national flower of Ukraine - bearing our thoughts, hopes and prayers for people
affected by the war in Ukraine.
Thanks to your generous donations, we have raised £181 for the Disasters Emergency Committee: https://www.dec.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal
