Christmas Jumper Day for Save the Children Teachers and students from Daycare to Sixth Form were invited to wear a Christmas Jumper to school on Wednesday in recognition of Save the Children’s national Christmas Jumper Day which takes place on Friday. Anyone wearing festive clothes was asked to make a small donation. Year 9 hosted a few fundraising... events. They sold hot chocolate and biscuits during morning break in the Conservatory. Then, during lunch, they organised two games: guess the baby picture of the teachers and decorate a teacher like a Christmas tree. The children were asked to donate a small amount in order to participate in the games. A grand total of £268 was raised for Save the Children. See more

HCH children raise £4,658 for Action Against Hunger Friday 10th June was a sporty day at Hampton Court House. Children from Nursery to Year 4 ran as many 200 metre laps as they could for an admirable cause: Run Against Hunger. The run is organised alongside the registered charity Action Against Hunger. Every year for the last 18 years, Run Against Hunger... has helped schools to raise awareness of world hunger and malnutrition and has mobilised students to become a part of the fight to end it. This year, thanks to the children’s effort and commitment, they raised £4,658 which will help to finance programmes supporting children and their families in Haiti. Well done to all our runners and to their sponsors for their generous donations. A very HCH moment! See more
