Dear Parents/Carers

As you may be aware, the week beginning 14th November is National Anti-Bullying Week.  We will be doing various activities with the students throughout the week, culminating in ‘Wear Something Blue’ day on Friday 18th November to raise awareness and money for bullying support charities.

We ask that students contribute £1 on the day and wear an item or combination of items that are blue from the following list:

• Blue socks/tights
• Blue shirt
• Blue hair band/bow/ribbon
• Blue tie

Students will still need to be in full school uniform (blazer, tie, skirt/trousers, shoes etc) and will not be permitted to have blue nails or make up/face paint.

For further information on Anti-bullying Week, please visit bullying.co.uk or anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk

Staff will also be taking part and contributing to this event and we will be sharing our activities and photos on the school website and social media pages.  We hope that you and your daughters will support us in our promotion of such an important charity.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Z Drysdale

PD Co-ordinator

Borough makes new pledges to support residents with cost-of-living crisis.

More than £3million will be invested across 12 pledges to support residents and businesses with the rising the cost of living. Proposals include targeted cash payments for the most vulnerable people in the borough – children on free school meals, care leavers and those excluded from the benefits system.

Funding of £150,000 will go towards supporting food clubs, groups and foodbanks, £300,000 to help renters from being made homeless, and £50,000 to create warm spaces in community buildings across the borough are just some of the ways the Council intends to act. Funding is subject to final Cabinet approval but will also include a Community Supports initiative where residents can donate goods, money or volunteer their time and a Business Support Grant focused on helping make local businesses become Real Living Wage Accredited employers.

There is a range of support already in place for residents struggling with rising household costs. Full information about these schemes and how to access them is available via Greenwich Supports: www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/Greenwich-Supports
