On Tuesday 10th July, we collaborated with the amazing charity Timegivers to host our first Civic Virtues Day at Springwest. During the course of the day, KS3 students were involved in a range of ‘giving back’ activities to support our local community.

We managed to collect a phenomenal 550 items for Feltham Food Bank so a huge thank you to our families, students and staff for their donations. In addition, we decorated doughnut bags with positive messages, made cat and dog toys, cookies, sensory boards, coasters, bunting and handkerchiefs. Please see below for a list of organisations that benefited from the amazing efforts of our students and school community.
