Supporting our Community

At Ropley CE Primary School, we support a number of charitable events throughout the year.  Although we support the national fundraisers, such as Children In Need, Sport Relief, Comic Relief and Cancer Research, we also support smaller, more local charities such as the Foodbank and the Shoebox Scheme.  

Global Neighbours Citizenship

Our School Council chose to support Wessex Rotary Shoebox Scheme last year.  Thanks to our local community and our parents, we donated a fantastic 44 boxes which were sent to disadvantaged and displaced children in Eastern Europe.  Our Councillors also led a Whole School Worship to tell the children all about the scheme, before handing over the boxes to James from Wessex Rotary.

Alton Foodbank - 2024

This Harvest we again supported Alton Foodbank which is part of the Trussell Group.  We collected a huge amount of food (117kg!) and were delighted to be able to invite our parents and grandparents to our Harvest Service at our beautiful, rebuilt St Peter's Church.

Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal - 2024

We are delighted to again be able to support the Poppy Appeal.  Our children were able to purchase child friendly items as well as the traditional paper poppy.  We are delighted that we raised £111.84 for this year's appeal.

Abby's Heroes - 2024

Our children and staff again wore Christmas Jumpers to support Abby's Heroes, which is a local children's cancer charity that supports children and their families.  We raised £91.55 for this worthy cause.

Children In Need - 2024

We were pleased to support this national charity again.  The children all wore their 'Pudsey Bear' items and we raised a brilliant £189.87.  A special thank you to Frogs for doing the bucket shake on our behalf at the school gates.  

 

Bishops Sutton Remembrance Service - 2025

A group of our children attended the service on behalf of our school.  the service particularly honoured all the local men that lost their lives in WW, WW2 and the Korean War. There were 16 men in total. The children took time to read the names of all 16 who had a tree planted in memory of them along the road leading to Bishop Sutton.
