Charity Week was, once again, a great success at St Edmund’s. This year, our fundraising efforts were in support of Mary’s Meals, a charity that provides meals for children in some of the world’s poorest communities.

On 10th March, pupils had the opportunity to hear from a representative of the charity, who shared that just £19.15 is enough to feed a child for an entire year – an inspiring message that motivated our school community to get involved.
