Charitable Work
Fundraising plays an important part in the life of Newton Prep. The children have the responsibility, under the direction of the pupil parliament, for researching and choosing each year’s charity program. Each term, a charitable organisation is chosen and the pupils organise events to raise both awareness and money. They aim to choose a diverse range of charities based both in the UK and abroad, and the majority of those are for children and are therefore of particular relevance to our pupils. Over the past few years they have raised substantial sums each term through activities including car washes, bake sales, a Mad Hatter’s Day, Wear a Cap for Mencap and Odd Sock Day, as well as numerous sponsored reading, maths and spelling events.
Newton Prep’s commitment to fundraising and raising awareness of those less fortunate is closely linked to our PSHE curriculum. We believe that this is an intrinsic part of each child’s educational development and enables them to play a more developed role within the wider community.
Charities supported by the pupils, staff and parents of Newton Prep in the last few years include NSPCC, LEPRA, Send a Cow, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Children in Need and Mencap.
