Charity in action at Meridian High School for Children in Need

Students bounced, skipped and climbed for charity when Meridian High School in New Addington took part in this year’s Children in Need.

The annual charity appeal started early at the school with a non-uniform day on Thursday 14 November, which saw staff and students alike make donations to wear theme colours and spots, with the school’s Charity Ambassadors collecting the money.

Then on Friday 15 November, the students attended tutor-time Children in Need assemblies, before taking a more active role in the fundraising.

“We held a series of challenges at break and lunchtime, including a handball, skipping, and Active Wall tournament, where children paid £1 to enter,” said Robyn Wallace, Assistant Headteacher at the school, which is a member of the GLF Schools Multi-Academy Trust.
