Two Non-Uniform Days coming up to raise money for Global COVID19 Appeals

/in , , /by

Non-Uniform Day: Friday 14th May 2021

Given the unprecedented nature of the experiences the world has faced over the last eighteen months, we feel compelled to come together as a community to raise money for global COVID appeals. Whilst the United Kingdom may be facing the easing of restrictions and the return to some forms of normality, this is not the case for other parts of the world.

We write to you to ask for your support in two appeals:

  1. Urgent Appeal: India COVID emergency

Friday 14th May, 2021

We will be asking students to wear Non-School Uniform and ask that you support the cause by donating money using the ParentPay system. This money will contribute to the urgent care needed in India at present, in order to slow the spread of the virus and support those countries being affected as a result of the outbreak in India at present.

Should you wish to understand the nature of the appeal more or donate further, please access the link: https://londonmandir.baps.org/support-us/

  1. Student Fundraising: Supporting the Gambia

Before July. Date TBC.

A group of our Year 12 students, have put together a proposal to raise money for COVID equipment to support The Gambia in their fight against the pandemic. They have currently raised nearly £1000 and wish to have a Non-School Uniform Day to increase funding, to enable them to better support the cause. They have chosen The Gambia due to the link our school community has with Farafenni Senior Secondary High School. As with the India appeal, we will ask our students to wear Non-School Uniform and for donations to be made through the ParentPay system.

We hope that you can support us in our continuous support of global citizenship and responsibility; we recognise the last minute nature of the first appeal, but we feel bound to act to offer our support to a country in such dire need.

Please note that as previously, we ask that students who have PE or sporting activities on the days nominated for Non-School Uniform to bring their PE kit; we have made provisions for changing facilities to be cleaned during the day in line with COVID protocol, to enable students to change and therefore access their curriculum to the best of their ability.

We thank you in advance for any support you might be able to give. We are proud to be a community that acts and leads with integrity, doing the right thing in supporting countries all over the world in unprecedented and challenging times: together, we are strong.

Online Safety Event – Wednesday November 13th

/in , /by

We are committed to ensuring that students are safe when using the internet at Sandringham School.

Nonetheless, much of a child’s internet usage occurs outside of school, and we ask parents/carers to be interested, supportive and vigilant to their children’s usage. Within the curriculum at school students are educated about appropriate use of technologies, the dangers of misuse and how to report concerns. We make use of time in Computer Science lessons, Lifelong Learning (LL) and assemblies to ensure that the most up to date and relevant content is delivered to our students.

We are pleased to announce that on Wednesday 13th November we have secured an Online Safety Specialist from a company called Connected Minds to deliver an information session for parents/carers. This event will commence at 6:30pm in the Main Hall. We would welcome parents from any year group to attend. In order for us to secure an approximation of numbers, we would ask for you to complete a brief sign up via this link – www.bit.ly/32fgfgL.
