They are courteous, polite and welcoming” OFSTED ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE DETERMINED students at Queen Elizabeth Humanities College have proved beyond a doubt that they really are the ‘the small school with a big heart‘. The students have smashed their fundraising target to raise over £3,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust — the final total being over £4,000. The Bromyard high school students and staff raised the money with their ‘Walk To New York’. The popular sponsored walk in the Malvern Hills notched up 3 ‘- 2,. a massive 3,357 miles — which “Students' good ' ' is the equivalent distance from Bromyard to New York. QE‘s support of the charity is close to the school’s heart, as former QE student Ed Trafford sadly lost his life to cancer. And shockingly seven young ‘ people are still diagnosed with z. the disease in the UK every sin— gle day. Ed’s mother Dawn, together with his sisters Leesa Munday and Sarah Weaver, attended the official cheque handing ‘ over ceremony at QE during whole assembly on September 10, 2015. QB students clapped as the " £4,219.40 cheque was handed herefordtimescom over to Teenage Cancer Trust fundraiser Emily Cooper (po- sitioned far right) by QE stu- dents (left to right) Nina Ball, Kris Bloomfield and James Phillips. Emily then showed students a short film outlining the work the Teenage Cancer Trust does. The film showed first-hand accounts from teenagers and young adults who have benefit- ted from the charity’s amazing efforts at Queen Elizabeth Hos pital, Birmingham. Students and staff found the film very moving, particularly those whose own families have been affected by cancer. QE students later met with Emily and the Trafford family and close family friend Jackie Tickle to discuss more fund- raising for Teenage Cancer Trust. Ideas include fun runs, a quiz night, football tournament, ., TEENAGE CANCER TRUST R‘w‘ TMv'mlidJNd mm (Ll/Y.“ a Hw' \ in“: '59 mo.» - bingo, family fun day and even a car wash. Said Emily: “We are delighted that Teenage Cancer Trust is now QE’s designated charity. “We were overwhelmed by the students' generosity. “The money raised from their fantastic fundraising will en- sure that young cancer pa- tients don’t feel so alone.” Martin Farmer, QE head teacher, said: “Once again our students have stepped up and shown that they can exceed ex- pectations. “We are thrilled to be able to donate this much money to such a worthwhile charity that has such strong links with the local Bromyard community. “We look forward to our next fundraising event and are sure our students will embrace the opportunity to make a big dif- ference to young cancer suffer- ers’ lives.” t.l-.;.Eft‘l Elizabeth r Queen Elizabeth Humanities College welcomes enquiries and visits from families of prospective students.
