Our School Charity 2020-2021

Our School Charity this year was The Oxford Gatehouse. Although many of the pupils’ usual fundraising initiatives were curtailed many individuals and houses rallied and have provided much needed funds for this valuable organisation who provide critical resource to the many homeless clients in Oxfordshire. As well as fundraising, some of our students have also been volunteering at The Gatehouse sorting out food parcels, clothing gifts and toiletries, and sourcing old laptops so clients can access important resources on line.
