Today's Big Walk was a triumph. Bright sun and a cool temperature made for perfect conditions as the whole school set off on the 10k Walk. The pictures show -


- 7 Bell lead off
- 10 Burrows at the start
- On the way
- Approaching Lavant Green
- The Samba Band entertains on Lavant Green
- Everyone was involved
- Sixth Form Young Enterprise "Carry your Bags" service
- The Headteacher with David and Pam Grey, Architects of the Creative Arts Centre
- Most of the school together at lunchtime
- Parent marshalls take a rest before the next onslaught
- The RE team relax at Lavant
- One casualty of the Walk
This is the first event when we have raised money for the school. Pupils are incredibly generous and hardworking in aid of others less fortunate than ourselves. Annually pupils and the Sixth Form raise around £20,000 for charities both local and global. So it seemed right, just this once, to raise money for the school. To encourage sponsorship, prizes, kindly donated by National Westminster Bank, Evergreen Irish Moss Peat Products and parents, will be awarded to individuals and groups who raise the most money.
Donations to the Bishop Luffa Charitable Trust are welcomed as pupils begin to reap the tremendous benefits of the Creative Arts Centre. All donors will be sent an invitation to the formal opening of the Creative Arts Centre on Thursday 5 November when the actress Patricia Routledge CBE will cut the ribbon. Please make cheques payable to Bishop Luffa School Charitable Trust; a gift aid form is attached.
