Tinsel Up – Tuesday 17th December

On Tuesday 17th December, millions of people up and down the country will come together – at their workplace, school or with friends – to ‘make the world better with a Christmas sweater’. At Ridgewood, we are inviting all staff and students to wear a Christmas Jumper and/or Christmas accessory (hat, headband etc) to school, in return for a donation to Save the Children. There is no expectation for students/parents to go out and buy something specially for this day, an alternative would be to simply wear something green, or red.

Save the Children are a charity that operate in the UK and globally to make sure that children are safe, healthy, and learning. You can find out more about how your support helps the charity here:

A minimum donation of £1 can be made via Parent Pay on or before Tuesday 17th December 2024.

Students will wear their normal school uniform skirt or trousers with something Christmas themed on the top half. As always, no crop-tops, shoulders or tummies on show, no offensive language, or inappropriate pictures on tops. No all-in ones such as: jumpsuits and unitards.

A non-school uniform day is a very small act of charity. Anything that we can contribute in what is likely to be another difficult year for many families, will help these valuable projects keep going.
