Last week as a school we once again came together to make a real difference to children across the country- and never has help been so needed.

Our total raised for the BBC Children in Need stands at £13,500, and we are truly humbled by the response of our pupils and staff. Thank you to all for the support you played in this, whether you baked, biked, walked, ran, climbed, skipped, got drenched in icy waters or simply stayed off your Xbox or kept shtum, your efforts are appreciated. Well done.

The BBC acknowledge what we are doing, as they sent us this message: “Thank you so much for choosing to support us, we hugely value the efforts of everyone at Kettlethorpe High School, and want you to know that we are thinking of you in these strange times. An absolutely MASSIVE thank you to your whole school community for everything they have done to achieve this. We are so grateful.”
