Social Impact ProjectsReal Potential to Improve Lives

Students join Social Impact Action Groups to develop projects that can really make a difference to the local community. They make an individual or group submission to design a social impact project and provide a detailed proposal outlining the objectives, how it would be implemented, and the likely costs. The projects need to show evidence of having real potential to improve the lives of others and to achieve maximum impact, and to have the potential to be sustained beyond the students’ time at the school.

Students who develop projects are also invited to submit their projects for the Social Impact Prize, where students present their ideas to our judging panel, Head, Dr Ramsey, Governors and members of the Khemka family, who initiated and very generously sponsored the project.

The winners  of our 2024-25 prizes were:
