Hanham Woods Academy joins forces for Children in Need fundraiser

Staff and students at Hanham Woods Academy participated in a week-long fundraising effort in support of the BBC’s Children In Need appeal.

The highlight of the event saw students purchasing raffle tickets for a unique opportunity. Three lucky winners earned the chance to cover Principal Steve O’Callaghan in gunge!

The academy community showed incredible generosity and school spirit, helping to raise an impressive total of £289.64 for this worthy cause.

The excitement culminated on the big day, as laughter and cheers echoed throughout the school grounds during the gunging spectacle.

Steve O’Callaghan, Principal of Hanham Woods Academy, said: “The energy and enthusiasm shown by both students and staff this week has been inspiring.

“It’s heartwarming to see our community come together for such a fantastic cause, and if being covered in gunge helps raise more for Children In Need, then it’s absolutely worth it.”
