Supporting the Local Community and Fundraising
As well as continually seeking ways in which the community can support us, we are also looking for ways in which we can support the local, wider and global communities. Some of this is linked to our topic work, such as our support for Ugandan schools; however we also develop other community links through the wider work of the school and the children’s school council. If you have any other suggestions about how we can work more closely with communities, or are a community looking to work with us, we would love to hear from you. Please email us at nbisschoolcouncil@hotmail.co.uk.
Featured below are some examples of our work this year – please take a look!
