Accord Multi Academy Trust schools are gearing up to support Children in Need next Friday with a variety of activities to raise vital funds for this important charity.

The Trust schools; Horbury Academy, Ossett Academy and Accord Sixth Form College, Middlestown Primary and Horbury Primary will be hosting events, activities and competitions in collaboration with one another, celebrating and sharing each other’s success.

Horbury Academy are holding a sponsored 100-mile bike ride, a penalty shoot-out, sponsored read, bake sale and a name the bear competition.

Ossett Academy are running an art and literacy competition, making spotty masks for sale at a cost of £5, and holding a bake sale, quiz and a Pudsey Bear raffle.

Horbury Primary Academy are set to join Joe Wicks as he completes his epic 24-hour PE challenge, along with age-appropriate physical activities for nursery-aged children. In addition, the academy is asking for a donation of £1 to wear non-uniform.

Over at Middlestown Primary, the school council decided on a pyjama day in return for a donation, plus a ‘Pudsey Burpee Challenge’ whereby students will donate 30p to compete against one another to see how many burpees they can achieve in one minute! Foundation Stage will be able to take part in a ‘Decorate Pudsey’ competition.

Thank you for your support for this important cause.
