Charities at the Junior School

The Junior School works with a whole range of charities.

Junior School children have the opportunity to make their own suggestions for organisations to support and are encouraged to engage with as many projects as possible:

• L`Arbre à Pain –  is a charity/food bank for local families and homeless people run by volunteers in St Germain-en-Laye – Harvest collection of non perishable goods and delivered by School Council

In recent years our selection of other charities has included:  

• Pieces Jaunes – National French charity – collection of small change – to fund accommodation for families and classes for children whilst they are in hospital
• Autumn Fair drinks stall – Proceeds to be distributed between BSPS selected charities
• Appeal Day – All proceeds go to charities chosen by the children each year. The children have chosen to support charities such as:
• WWF for endangered species and Water Aid  – suggested by Year 5 following their work about the importance of water.
• Whole School charity – Remembrance Poppy Appeal/ French Bleuet Appeal – British Legion and French equivalent for war veterans and their families.
• Whole School charity – Love-in-a-Box – run locally in Paris for underprivileged children.
• Whole School charity – Jeans for Genes – UK Charity and a whole school event.
• Whole School charity – BSP Cambodia – our major whole school project in conjunction with United World Schools.
