CHRISTMAS IS A TIME FOR GOOD CHEER AND
ONE OF OUR PUPILS IS SPREADING IT IN
ABUNDANCE
We are very proud of Lottie Thorpe and so are her
parents. This Christmas, Lottie has made a very clear
decision not to accept any Christmas presents but to
collect donations for the London based charity Kids
Company. Lottie did some research and discovered that
Kids Company is currently under threat because of cuts
in funding. They are being kept afloat by support from
J K Rowling and Coldplay. She has now set up a
JustGiving donations page and her parents are going to
let her check it on Christmas Day. We have put this in
the newsletter as we know that many families very
generously donate to charities at this time of year and
we would like to support Lottie and we hope that she will
be very pleased on Christmas Day when she checks the
page. Here is the link to her Just Giving page in aid of
Kids Company.
