Promoting Universal Values
Crofton School promotes the universal values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. We actively promote the values by challenging opinions or behaviours in school that are contrary to fundamental universal values.
Charity work at Crofton
Students at Crofton have always been very good at giving their time and money to others less fortunate than themselves. In October we hold a charity week every year, during this dedicated week the school raises money for charities nominated by the students.
In 2017, students raised £5000 for Canine Partners. https://caninepartners.org.uk/blog/crofton-secondary-school-raise-5000-to-help-transform-lives The £5000 enabled the charity to fund a puppy and cover the cost of the initial puppy training. The puppy was named Crofton and after he completed his initial training Crofton went onto advanced training and is now partnered with Cameron - read more about their partnership here > https://www.croftonschool.co.uk/post/crofton-pup-has-a-home. We have continued to raise money for Caine Partners and are working towards our second dog.
In 2022, £1500 was raised for a local charity Sophie’s Legacy, who provide support for parents and families who have a young person spending time in hospital. Every Saturday night the charity provide food for families and staff on the children’s ward at a local hospital.
We also gave £500, warm clothing and blankets to the Salvation Army to support their work with the homeless.
