As part of our continued drive to support important charitable endeavours, and to raise awareness and engagement amongst our students of global issues, we will be embarking on an unusual challenge - a Sponsored Silence on 22 November.

As a School, we will be supporting the British Red Cross humanitarian relief effort on the Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territory Appeal.

Given the catastrophic nature of the crisis, we have decided to steer away from our usual style of fun, high-energy sponsored activities. It may, perhaps, be even more of a challenge for the girls (and staff) to remain silent from 0830-1200.

From earthquakes to armed conflict, from fires to floods, in the UK and abroad, our teams react quickly with humanitarian aid and kindness across 192 countries, applying local knowledge and global expertise to save lives and provide comfort. Outside of emergencies, in the UK, our services reach people who are vulnerable to provide company, care and compassion.
