July marked the end of our annual Penny Wars fundraiser, and we’re thrilled to share that we raised an impressive £514.24 in just a few short weeks—all from spare change generously donated by our amazing parents and students!

As part of the friendly competition, the class that raised the most money gets to choose how their total is spent on an end-of-year treat. This year, the winning class was RF, who collected a fantastic £122.92!

As you can imagine, our youngest fundraisers had plenty of creative (and wild!) ideas. After much excitement and discussion, they decided on a superhero party, some new classroom resources, and—most touchingly—a donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital, made in the name of Class RF, Tilbury Pioneer Academy, in honour of one of their classmates who recently spent time there.

A huge well done to Class RF and thank you to everyone who contributed. What a wonderful example of fun, kindness, and community spirit!
