‘The Head Girl team have worked so hard to raise just over £10k and this is particularly poignant for me coming from a school that gave me so many opportunities. This huge amount to be given to Stop Domestic Abuse; a charity to help adults and children affected by domestic abuse seek opportunities for safety and security themselves, is wonderful.’

The Head Girl team spearheaded fundraising activities throughout the year to generate money and raise awareness of the charity.

Head Girl, Priyanka, 18, said: ‘Today, as we handover this cheque to Stop Domestic Abuse, I am proud of the collective generosity of all members of the school in supporting our fundraising efforts over the last year. I look forward to seeing where this money goes, and strongly hope that it makes a tangible difference.’
