Students at the Academy have been working hard to raise funds for many different charities, every week since the middle of October money has been raised from cake sales and coffee morning with the majority of the funds raised being donated to the Pakistani Flood Appeal and the MacMillan Nurses which to date amounts to £550.

Student in Year 9 Project 9 and Year 11 Citizenship as part of their GCSE coursework need to plan and run a fund raising event to raise money for a charity of their choice.

Over the next few weeks the students will be supporting many charities, especially Children in Need.
