Thank you so much for all your generosity. Many of our school families are themselves under considerable financial pressure, especially at this time of year, so it really is profound generosity we see in the pictures below of our very-own Santa-Sleigh (mini-bus).
For some families, the gifts donated by JOA are the only ones that they will receive this Christmas.
Well done and sincere thanks to everyone who contributed!
Join Miss Godwin and Mr Woollatt who are both aiming for the Best Staff Christmas Jumper” prize.
There will also be awards for “Best Student Christmas Jumper” and “Most Christmassy Form”.

Haven’t got a Christmas Jumper? Not a problem. Customise your own.
Really too cool for school/ still don’t want to wear the jumper? Donate your £1 anyway…
Every single pound collected will go directly to the children of Udayan.
I would like to congratulate the Year 12 A.R.C team for all their efforts put into running and organising this years senior citizen Christmas party. It was an excellent day and all of our guests were extremely impressed. You really have put the teachings of Christ into practice ‘I was a stranger and you invited me in’ Mt 25:35.
Come and join us for an Udayan Coffee Morning
Monday 19th October in the hall.
Treat yourself (or a friend) to a hot drink and a cake or biscuit and raise money to help a child at Udayan
Take a look at our PPT about last year’s fund-raising activities to find out why we are running this event.
Thank you

Congratulations to all our pupils on a fantastic set of examinations results this year.

The average points score has also risen significantly from 323 in 2014 to 382 this year and is a reflection of the hard work and dedication from our pupils and staff throughout KS4.
