Summer Term Charity Fundraising

Spencer House voted for our Summer Term charity and the two charities with the most votes were: SPEAR – a local charity helping the homeless and Choose Love UK, a charity helping refugees around the world. These two charities were clearly the favourites of Years 4, 5 and 6 as there was just a couple of votes between them.

The Princess Trust

In the Spring Term the whole school community came together to raise money for The Princess Trust and remember Jane Davis, our late Admissions Secretary, on the anniversary of her death. Jane worked at The Study for 27 years and was much loved by parents, pupils and staff. The Princess Trust was a charity close to Jane’s heart and raising funds for this cause was a fitting way for the school to pay tribute to her memory. Some girls took their support of the charity one step further by cutting their hair and donating it to make wigs for children with cancer.

Lockdown Reading Challenge!

At the start of lockdown last year Annabel in Year 5 decided to put her time at home to good use. She set herself the challenge of reading 100 books in a year to raise money for the NHS and front-line workers at Kingston Hospital. In March 2021 she smashed her fundraising target and finished 100 books! Annabel should be incredibly proud of her achievement.

Thanks to the NHS

During the Spring Term the spotlight was on the NHS and the struggles that front line workers faced during Covid. Our girls wrote some poignant letters to the staff at St George’s Hospital to say thank you and show them some support.
