VolunteeringService in the community
We have a long tradition of pupils taking part in community service throughout the school years, but particularly in Years 9 upwards. Volunteering and working on community projects is an important aspect of the Duke of Edinburgh awards and girls volunteer with local schools, charitable organisations and community projects for a minimum of one term but many continue for much longer. Our students were collectively awarded a certificate for donating 5,434 hours of voluntary service to the Duke of Edinburgh scheme between 1 April 2022 and 30 March 2023. Students studying the International Baccalaureate have organised and taken part in a number of activities as part of their Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) projects.
