Charity fever swept through Highfields for this year's national Comic Relief campaign, as students were encouraged to come to school in their own clothes and donate money for the cause.
Highfields also sold cakes to raise funds, with delicious treats available such as tasty rocky road bakes and Red Nose Day themed cupcakes. Parents were encouraged to donate via Parent Pay, and members of the Inclusion team collected donations from our very generous students throughout the day. In total, the school raised an impressive £1500, which will support Comic Relief to make a difference to the lives of millions of people across the UK and the world.
Ms J Parker, Head of Lower School, said: “Highfields is proud of the support that students, parents and staff give to both national and local charities, raising thousands of pounds each year. I want to thank everyone for their support, helping to make this a day to remember whilst making a difference.”
Comic Relief aims to bring about positive and lasting change in the lives of poor and disadvantaged people across the world, whilst tackling the root causes of poverty and injustice. The charity hosts a Red Nose Day extravaganza every two years on the BBC, supported by celebrities and politicians, to help raise millions of pounds for the cause.
