Fund Raising

Our school is a dedicated fund-raiser and prioritises local charities and organisations which operate in, and support, our own community.

This community sees our school raise totals well into 5-figures each school year - so we make a real difference.

Our students are passionate for their local charities, and benefit from the real partnerships that have been built-up, rather than seeing us simply send off a cheque to a more distant charity.

Equally, our parents whole-heartedly buy into our projects, and their support is crucial in helping the Houses compete to win the annual Charity Trophy each academic year

This partnership work has seen guest speakers from hospices, dogs in school, and even helicopters dropping onto our site!

Our Houses each have Charity Reps and a local charity chosen by their students:

Garrick House – Lichfield Foodbank

Johnson House – St Giles Hospice

Seward House – Midland Air Ambulance

Darwin House – TBC (previously Acorns Children's Hospice)

Elsewhere, our Sixth Form works with Lichfield St Chad Rotary as part of our Interact Club on local fund-raising and in recent times have donated substantial sums to organisations like Pathways Project and Guide Dogs for The Blind and Lichfield City of Sanctuary.
