Story
Each year the school selects a charity which we then support and fundraise for. The school charity for this academic year is Farms for City Children, a charity which gives urban children from all over the country a unique opportunity to live and work together for a week at a time on a real farm in the heart of the countryside.
Children’s author Michael Morpurgo and his wife Clare founded Farms for City Children at Nethercott House in Devon in 1976. The charity offers urban children from all over the country a unique opportunity to live and work together for a week at a time on a real farm in the heart of the countryside. It is an intense, ‘learning through doing’ experience of a different life – for children who may not know where their food comes from and have limited opportunities to explore the outside world.
