Winning this award is recognition of our great community spirit and the support we give to those who most need it. Through our fundraising activities and community events, including MacMillan Coffee Mornings, Share Day, Santa Dash and Christmas Markets; our commitment to interfaith dialogue and cooperation on St Damian’s Day, our connections with BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir and King David School, enrich our community with diverse perspectives. We don’t exist in isolation but actively seek partnerships to enrich pupils’ learning experiences and opportunities, and along with the support of staff and families at St Damian’s our pupils collectively and successfully engage with our community outreach programmes.
Achieving these accolades is the recognition of the work we do in raising awareness on homelessness issues, poverty and mental health. Also, how we collaborate with other community groups in fostering interfaith tolerance and respect. We are very proud of all our pupils and the outstanding contribution and compassion they show towards our wider community; none of which could be achieved without the support of our caring families and dedicated staff.
