Young Leaders

Courageous Advocacy

We are proud of our hard-earned accreditations as a school.  Our children are genuinely passionate and articulate about their roles to ‘be the change they want to see.’

Our Projects


The children have ownership of projects by deciding

  • what to choose
  • what action needs to be taken and
  • evaluating the impact.

As one of the first two schools in the country to receive the Global Neighbours Bronze Award we are now working on the Gold Award. Current projects include Rainforest Action, Eco Bricks and raising awareness about carbon negativity.

For the last three years, our Y4 and Y2 classes have participated in the Archbishop of York Award. Current projects include Water Aid, Guide dogs for the Blind, and Supporting the Homeless.

Tackling World Hunger

 


During World Autism week, Jack fund-raised an amazing amount.  Charlie raised awareness from a personal perspective. He led two worships explaining how autism affects him and his life. Charlie’s parents were so proud. ‘ We never thought Charlie would be part of an assembly, especially considering he struggled so much when he was younger. Very proud of Charlie and grateful to the school for all they have done to nurture him.’
