Next Friday is Children in Need Day. You can wear something spotty or something yellow to school. Our donation page is a direct link rather than a payment item on ParentPay like we have used in the past. The minimum donation is £1 but you can of course donate more, and if you are a UK taxpayer you can gift-aid your donation too! Thank you for your support.

You can find the link here.

"You may have seen that I recently launched The Big Ambition, a new campaign to hear directly from children, young people, and parents across the country about what they need to make their lives better.  

I want to thank all the schools that have already participated and to the thousands of children that have had their say. I am keen to build momentum on this and so would appreciate it if you could encourage your school to take part in The Big Ambition, if you have not done so already. 

As we approach the General Election, now is a crucial moment to take children and young people’s voices to policymakers, Government, and decision makers, to make sure they are heard.  

That is why I want to hear from every child and young person in England about their schools, communities, family life, and the wider world. I will also be asking what they want for their future, their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.  

This survey is for all children and young people aged 6-18 and for parents/carers who can complete the survey on behalf of children aged 0-5. This will ensure we hear from early years settings. Adults can also assist children who are unable to complete the survey independently.  The survey can be completed here: www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigambition 

I am grateful for your ongoing support - Dame Rachel de Souza  (Children’s Commissioner for England)
