Charities
Supporting out local community, as well as national initiatives, is important to us. We decided to support our local food bank - Batley Food Bank as well as some larger charities this year.
Sponsored Walk - 4th November 2022
Over the summer, we were all shocked to see and hear about the devastating floods that hit Pakistan. As is our ethos here at Staincliffe to help those in need, we held a joint fundraiser to help those affected by the devastating floods. A fantastic effort was shown by everyone for our sponsored walk with an absolutely staggering £3338.30 raised!
Batley Food Bank - Harvest Collection
Every Harvest, we collect donations of food, toiletries and money to send to our local food bank - a charity chosen by the children to support. We had a fantastic response from our families again this year, with two car loads of food and toiletries being donated, as well as £254.00 cash that the food bank will use to buy specific items that are needed. Many, many thanks to everyone.
We will accept any donations at any time and donate the food on school's behalf.

School Gala - annual event
Year 6 pupils arrange an annual gala. They have many discussions about where we will donate half the proceeds. the children are asked to suggest where they would like to donate the money, write persuasive accounts and share these with all members of year 6. The children then vote. Last year they voted for Pinderfields Hospital intensive care unit. It has a place close to our heart. A few years previously, they had decided to donate to Forget me not trust as a pupil from school sadly passed away and they supported him in his final days.
We thank local businesses for donating to our gala to help raise the funds for school and charities.
