Charity Fundraising
In line with the school’s ethos, “… contribute positively to society as responsible citizens”, Park High is committed to actively promoting charitable giving and volunteering to support those less fortunate than ourselves. In turn, this promotes the School’s Character Virtues of compassion, curiosity, teamwork, integrity and resilience.
Examples of our commitment to charity work include our annual foodbank collection, participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, voluntary work, fundraising and outreach work with community partners.
We have four strategic principles which guide our work, enabling us to work at a school, local, national and international levels:
-
Empowerment through education
-
Community and Social Responsibility
-
Global Outlook
-
Student-led Initiatives

Grenfell Tower Fire Contributions
Park High pulled together to donated to the awful heart-breaking incident at the Grenfell Tower fire in London resulting in death, injury and homelessness for hundreds of families.
They were in need of essentials like Water, Toothbrushes, Wet wipes / baby wipes, Nappies, Sanitary products, Deodorants, wash products, Hair brushes, combs, bands, Towels, Sleeping bags, clothes and Small cuddly teddies and toys.
Mrs Nagle liaised with officials and arranged donations for those affected, and organised to have the donations to be sorted, repacked and delivered.
We know it will never undo this terrible tragedy but really shows the community spirit here at Park, a little or a lot it all adds up. A massive thank you to Mrs Nagle who organised it all.
MENCAP Contributions
In July 2017 the Year 8 Community Group presented a cheque for £1000 to the Pinner branch of MENCAP in order for the members to purchase new equipment for their social club. Year 8 were extremely successful in their fundraising activities in both Year 7 and the last academic year, raising nearly £5000 in Charity Week and the ‘50’ Project in PE lessons.
