Dear Parents/Carers,

We are pleased to announce that your child will have the opportunity to enjoy a Christmas Lunch on Wednesday 18th December 2024. The Christmas Lunch will feature a delicious festive meal and entertainment in the restaurant. Additionally, our assemblies and tutor time curriculum will include activities that will bring our school community together in the spirit of caring, sharing and giving at this time of year.

We are pleased to be supporting the Save the Children charity as part of this occasion and raise awareness and funds that support children in need around the world. As an IB World School, we are proud of our students’ efforts to help support both global charity work as well as valued local community initiatives.

During this event, your child may wear a hand decorated or store bought Christmas jumper and/or Christmas themed accessories, in addition to non-school uniform.

We kindly ask for a voluntary donation of £1 per student to contribute to this cause and this must be paid in cash through your child’s tutor from Monday 9th December and ahead of the day. All funds raised will go directly towards providing food, education, and emergency relief for children facing hardship through the Save the Children Charity.

On this day, Christmas dinner will be the only option served in the restaurant at Lunchtime at a cost of £4.05 for a full meal, or £2.50 without dessert. Alternatives will be on offer from the Snack Shack, and/or food can be purchased from the restaurant at breaktime. Please ensure your child has enough money on their account ahead of the day. Students entitled to free school meals will be provided with the opportunity to have Christmas lunch or alternatives from the Snack Shack.

Kind Regards,

Barry Stephenson
Deputy Principal
