Our Sixth Form students donated over 100kg of food!

Before Christmas, Year 12 students launched their first social action project, running a Christmas Food Bank Drive in support of Ramsey FoodBank.

Students promoted the appeal across year groups and encouraged involvement. Throughout the month, they showed creativity and commitment by designing promotional materials, preparing collection boxes and organising donations. At the end of term, Year 12 representatives accompanied Head of Sixth Form, Samantha Moore to personally deliver the donations to Ramsey FoodBank. The students were warmly welcomed by Lisa Williamson, who is also Chair of Governors at Abbey College.

The MP for North West Cambridgeshire visited Abbey College to engage with students and staff for the first time since his election last year.

On 10th January, Abbey College and Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form welcomed Sam Carling who shared his insights around his role, environmental policy and the importance of the youth voice in politics with Year 11, 12 and 13 students. This wasn't the first time some of the students had met Sam as they had the opportunity to talk to him during a visit to the Houses of Parliament in November last year. The visit also included a tour around the school site with Mr Christoforou.

This was a great opportunity for the students of Abbey College to think about and ask questions of the MP and for them to get insights to the role of the MP.
