Charity Day

Our pupils have had a very successful day of fundraising for the two causes that we are supporting. First the pupils bought in their donations for the Jeans for Genes day. Did you know that there are between 4,000 and 6,000 diagnosed genetic disorders?

It is estimated that one in 25 children is affected by a genetic disorder and therefore 30,000 babies and children are newly diagnosed in the UK each year!

Some genetic disorders are apparent at birth while others are diagnosed at different stages throughout childhood, and sometimes into adulthood.

With your donations we will be able to help the charity support affected children and families as well as conduct research into how this can be prevented.
