Helping us get a good education and Getting us back on track. Northern House School is Outstanding Current Outstanding Ofsted Report (874) Ofsted Parentview - Tell Ofsted what you think of Northern House School Welcome to Northern House School Website Dear Parents and Carers What a fabulous day! We have today sent off 24 shoeboxes packed with goodies for some of the neediest children in the world. These are being sent through ‘Operation Christmas Child’. Thank you so much for sending in so many wonderful items for inclusion in the boxes. Today was also ‘Children in Need’ day. Our pupils were allowed to turn up in whatever clothes they liked (within reason!). They each paid £1 for the privilege. These funds were boosted by the generosity of our taxi drivers and escorts. The final sum we are sending to the Children in Need charity is £155.13pence. As if that isn’t enough, our children also made the most of our tuckshop today. We are sending the £58.50 pence raised to our African child fund. With that money, we are paying for an African child to attend school every day and enjoy at least one decent meal every lunchtime. It’s only through your support that any of this is possible, so many thanks.
