Care for our Community

Community Litter Picks

We are proud to litter pick alongside Newcastle Borough Council in our local community. 
Children work hard to spread the word about the environment and keeping areas tidy.

Caring for the Elderly

Our gardening and singing clubs support Rowan Court by planting and cheering the residents up with our singing. 
Residents have received postcards from our children as part of an Aspire Housing project.   We are proud of our children and the way they help others!

Foodbank

We support Newcastle-Staffs foodbank during the harvest period, and we also run a foodbank from school to support our parents and families.
A collection by our school community provided 127 meals for the local foodbank.

Charity

The children at Chesterton enjoy helping others and getting involved in community projects.  We support fundraising in school and donate to local charities as we try to give back to the charity that supports us.

Below is a small sample of some of the things we do to make a difference to the people around us.

Alice Charity

The Alice Charity ‘supports families in the Newcastle community with the right things, at the right time, in the right way, when no one else can.’

Our children donate their loose change into a giant bottle as a way of giving a little back to this amazing charity. 

Salvation Army

https://www.salvationarmy.org.uk

We work with the Salvation Army in Chesterton to support our families. The Salvation Army offer a ‘warm space’ for families and supply our families with additional food items.

British Legion

Each year we support the Poppy Appeal in school. On average we raise about £140 by selling a range of items. We also get involved in community events around the cenotaph in Chesterton Park.

British Red Cross

We wanted to support the crisis in Ukraine and as a school, we held an amazing homemade cake sale to contribute to the cause. The school community raised £250 that was sent to the Red Cross to aid the recovery.

Jack Dulson Memorial Fund

The Jack Dulson Memorial Fund helps to improve the lives of young people.  Our school have raised money through non-uniform days and raffles to give back to this wonderful local charity.
