How far, as a whole school community, can we travel during half term whilst raising money for The Ruth Strauss Foundation? We hope to raise as much money as possible to support this much needed charity. Every pound we raise will make a difference in providing emotional support for families and their children to prepare for the bereavement of a parent from cancer – and drive much needed research into non-smoking related lung cancers, to which Ruth Strauss ultimately lost her life. 

This was a fund-raising idea suggested by one of our girls and not only is this a worthy cause but we also feel it encompasses so much of what Godstowe is all about: working together to achieve our goals!

Can we reach Tokyo, home of the next Olympics? It is 9,500km! As a school community, we are calculating, to the nearest kilometre, how far we can walk, run, cycle, skip or swim between Sat May 23rd-Sun May 31st inclusive.

Will the staff travel further than the pupils?!
