Supporting Brentwood Foodbank

Our school community came together to support Brentwood Foodbank through a whole-school collection designed to help local families facing hardship. Children and parents donated a wide range of essential items including food, toiletries and household products. The initiative was led by the school’s Charity Prefects, who spoke in assembly about the important role foodbanks play within the local community and why supporting others is central to the Ursuline ethos.

Pupils learned about compassion, social responsibility and the importance of helping those in need. Representatives from the school were also able to deliver the donations directly to Brentwood Foodbank, where staff expressed their gratitude for the generosity shown by the Ursuline community.
