Sanger’s charity rep,
Jospin Sebastian-Ramesh,
has been coming up with
lots of fundraising ideas
Sanger for her house this term.
She was also one of the
pupils who played a key role in the Academy’s
sponsored walk for Cransley Hospice.
As well as collecting loose change in sweet
tubes for Macmillan, the house also launched
Get Sanger Reading as part of the Academy’s
literacy focus. This saw pupils bringing in
newspapers, magazines
and books which they
spent time reading
during CAPS. When
they were finished with
the magazines and
newspapers, each form
had to create an outfit
from the material, with
some creative designs
on show.

da Vinci has also been running inter-form
competitions to mark national events, such as
National Poetry Day and National Peace Day.

Socrates is now
fundraising for a new
charity, as suggested
by Curtis Mason. All
Socrates proceeds will now go
to Always a Chance,
a charity set up by the family and friends
of James Cooper and James Kouzaris, who
were shot dead in Florida on 2011. The
aim of the charity is to work with young
people who are at risk of getting involved
in violent crime. Socrates made Always a
Chance its nominated charity after hearing
presentations by Sixth Formers about
a number of charities. It started with a
collection of 20p pieces in Smarties tubes,
which raised £110. Mr Haywood’s class
raised the most with £24.40.
This term marked Socrates’ fundraising
week and the house took advantage of the
footfall through the Academy on parents’
evening by holding a cake sale and guess
the name of the teddy.
Socrates also marked National Anti-
Bullying Week by
holding a competition
for the best poster or
poem.

premature babies.
