Thank you

Some of the gifts purchased...

Each year Arden supports Birmingham City Mission's appeal for toys so that children who would not receive a present at Christmas are able to do so through the generosity of others. This year, as always, the response has been fantastic. Not only did we receive an amazing number of brand new toys to pass on to the Mission, we also received over £360 in cash which Senior Pupils spent to add to the toys already collected.

We would also like to thank everyone who supported the British Legion's Poppy Appeal. We are both proud and delighted to announce that the total raised was £1149.33. Thank you to everyone who bought a poppy and those pupils who gave up their time to sell them around school.

In a joint effort with Knowle Parish Church, Arden supported the Toucan appeal at Harvest Festival time. The appeal is organised by Sparkhill Foodbank and they have kindly written to us to express their thanks (see below). Once again we would like to thank everyone who supported such a worthwhile initiative.
