Community_and_Charity

Community Service provides pupils with an opportunity to leave the College and to engage with the wider community, albeit for a brief period of time each week. As well as providing valuable experience, for some pupils, it provides a route to community engagement in support of the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards scheme. Additionally the Chaplain publishes a community newsletter, "Through the Arch". A link to the latest issue is at the foot of this page.
