The children of Barnett Wood Infant School are taking part in a fundraising a Skip-a-thon event, which will take place at school on Friday 16th May. This event is being held during Melanoma Awareness Month, but more importantly, in memory of our beloved former pupil, Natalie Street, who sadly passed away from Melanoma in 2022.

Natalie was pupil at Barnett Wood, leaving in 2001 to move on to Greville, then Rosebery. Natalie grew up in Ashtead and after University, she qualified as a Maths teacher, working at the Bourne Education Trust. Sadly, she passed away in November 2022, after battling Melanoma for 4 years. She was only 28 years old.

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. They ensure their nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

From funding state-of-the-art equipment and ground breaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Please sponsor your child to raise vital funds for this very important charity.
