A Promise To Africa

Celebrating 30 years of the Cheddar Valley education system

On Thursday 28 September 2006 the Headteachers of the twelve Cheddar Valley Schools launched their “Promise to Africa” fundraising event to celebrate thirty years of the three-tier education system within the Valley working alongside national charity Link Community Development co-ordinated with former Cheddar Valley student Gemma Mullick who concluded her schooling as Kings’ Deputy Head Girl.

The Headteachers agreed to commemorate the successful collaboration of Cheddar Valley schooling by this symbolic campaign to raise money to benefit children of Africa. Events throughout the whole school year have raised money to assist schools within the Masindi District in Uganda where many lack basic facilities and are very overcrowded.

One New Water tank - £850
One 3-seater desk - £25
One Block of Toilets - £1,250
One new classroom - £4,000
Teacher training - £1,000
Teacher accommodation - £4,000
