All Heathfield students are encouraged to consider ways that they can contribute to both the local and international communities as well as the school community. All students are actively involved in a wide variety of volunteering activities, partnerships and fundraising events, both large and small.
Heathfield has a strong link with the Oscar Foundation who visited us in 2018 and 2023. Students raised funds to fly fifteen girls from the Mumbai slums to the UK for a life-changing two-week sport and education tour. The OSCAR Foundation drives social change by encouraging gender equality in underprivileged communities through football and education. The link continues with visits by the Founder of Oscar and with students going to Mumbai to volunteer.
In addition to supporting and fundraising for our four House charities, students also support two additional charities, selected every year. All of these charities are nominated by the students and include a mix of local, national and international causes. Our main annual, student led fundraising event, St Nicholas Stalls, is hugely successful and is a great start to students’ fundraising efforts.
Students have also connected with the residents of Dormy House care home in Sunningdale, corresponding with them throughout the pandemic and beyond.
