Charities
We support 3 charities each year - the children get involved with the decisions we make. We include a local charity, a national charity and an international/global charity each year.
For academic year 2021/2022 Bishops Down Primary and Nursery School will be supporting the following:
Local Charity
Hospice in the Weald https://www.hospiceintheweald.org.uk/
National Charity
Children in Need https://www.bbc.co.uk/childreninneed
Global Charity
WWF https://support.wwf.org.uk/
We run fundraising events during the year for our chosen charities. We feel that it is important to teach our pupils that they are part of a larger community and that everyone is responsible for those around them. By giving the value of charity a central role in the school, we hope to encourage our children to grow up with a healthy sense of compassion and a strong charitable spirit.
