Comic Relief 2026
Students enjoyed raising money for Comic relief today. Some students came to school in non uniform and entered into the 'funny for money' theme within their classes. At the Heaton site students took part in a comic relief disco/ sing along in the morning and students had access to the drama room where they could dress up and tell some jokes in the afternoon. We look forward to sharing how much money we have raised in next weeks blog!
