Year 7 Student's Handmade Scrunchies Raise Nearly £300 for Charity
We are incredibly proud of Year 7 student Niamh, who has been fundraising tirelessly for The Carers’ Centre in Bath, a charity that has provided invaluable support to her and her family.With her mum preparing to run the Bath Half Marathon next weekend to raise money for the centre, Niamh was determined to do her part. While she’s too young to take part in the race herself, she found a creative way to contribute—by crocheting scrunchies in our RHB school colours and selling them during break times at school (with a little help from her friends!).

Fantastic funds raised at Curry and Quiz Night
After a break of over two years, it was a pleasure to resurrect the Curry and Quiz night last month. The enthusiasm to take part was evident, as the event was a sell out within about forty-eight hours. Given our objective was to raise money for our fabulous performing arts department and their purchase of radio mics; the evening promised to be both fun and purposeful. Â

The girls were enthusiastic singing and had encouragement from some dancing in the audience.
