VM Charity Work

Students in VM also did a range of sponsored activities and Miss Ventress completed her challenge of running a half marathon on Saturday 20 March to raise money . She made it around 21.1km in just over 2 hours.

2018-2019: We raised £2310.20 for CALM. This charity was put forward by a student in JCL. We raised funds by having our non-school uniform day, creating stalls for students to buy snacks and treats at, sponsored silences and a whole Community sponsored walk where students set a goal and walked that number of steps every day in June.
