Supporting Charities 

Each year, Lambrook has raises thousands of pounds for many local and national charities. Through both pupil and staff-led initiatives and joining in with national campaigns, Lambrook has supported over 23 charities over the past year, including, Genes for Jeans, Daisy’s Dream, The Royal British Legion, Children in Need, Thames Valley Adventure Playground, Macmillan Cancer Support and Place2Be.

There have been many other practical ways in which pupils have been able to support local charities, including filling Christmas Boxes, volunteering at a local food bank, spending time with residents at a partner care home and working with a homeless charity.

 

Partnering with an International School 

As part of the Foundation, Lambrook partners with Hope Valley School located in South Africa. The emphasis of this work includes:

  • Raising funds for the school and any tangible projects
  • Sharing best practice
  • Using the opportunity to teach the Lambrook community more about a different school, country and continent

Over the past year, Lambrook has been able to raise funds for building developments and educational projects, providing a brand new minibus and an outdoor shelter for Hope Valley Farm School. Pupils are in touch virtually with their counterparts. Lambrook has been able to send pupils to Hope Valley in previous years and hope to be able to do this again in the future.

 

Partnering with Local Schools

Lambrook currently partners with around 60 schools in the surrounding area, sharing best practice and offering partnership days in subject areas including Maths, Music, STEAM, Geography, Sport, Languages, Science and Humanities.

“On behalf of our very happy Year 4 pupils, a huge thank you for welcoming us to Lambrook! Thank you for the really engaging and immersive activities that certainly encouraged all the children to work so happily and collaboratively together.” Visiting Teacher

  • Sharing training – offering places to staff from local state schools on training courses that the school hosts.
  • Sharing experiences – such as providing sports coaching sessions and hosting competitive fixtures and tournaments at Lambrook.
