• Christmas Charity 2025: The festive season is on its way again! This year, once again, we at CHS are supporting two Christmas charities and one community event, and we would be really grateful if you could make a contribution to one or more of them.

- Firstly, we are supporting The Christmas Toy Appeal, which helps families who are struggling this year. Donations of toys, books, gift vouchers, sweets or toiletries (suitable for children aged 0-16) can be made directly to school (drop them off at reception or Mr Dugdale’s office, K117).
- Secondly, we are supporting the St Joseph’s Family Centre Christmas Appeal, which helps families facing significant financial hardship by providing supermarket vouchers and hampers over the festive period. You can donate via ParentPay by clicking here.
- Thirdly, we will be running our own annual CHS Senior Citizens’ Christmas Party. It’s always a great pleasure to host the wisest in our community for Christmas dinner, live entertainment from the musical theatre group and bingo … but we desperately need funding. You can bring Christmas cheer and a warm glow to the darkest of months by making a donation by ParentPay (click here to donate via ParentPay) or by donating gifts that we can use for bingo prizes (smelly things, chocolates, gift packs … sherry!). Any donated gifts should go to main reception or can be dropped off at Mr Dugdale’s office, K117.
