Thanks to Nat for this latest report from Ryde Academy. Ed
On Friday 13 March, Ryde Academy was proud to be support Comic Relief in breaking the billion pound mark in money raised over the last 30 years.
The Student Council were responsible for organising the event with support from staff and fellow students.
The day was a big hit with both students and staff with many of those wearing MUFTI showing their support for the cause by wearing red.
Mrs Watt, Interim Headteacher, said
“I am so pleased at the success of the day. Students and staff alike embraced the opportunity to raise money for such a good cause.”
Range of activities
Red noses were sold by students on Thursday and Friday along with raffle tickets to win a teddy bear, won by Mr Benson, ICT teacher (which he generously donated back for future charity events). There were a range of other activities that took place over Thursday and Friday.

Dodgeball, students and staff made up teams and played against each other.
Two of our 6th formers baked for the staff cake club on Thursday and raised over £30 selling slices of cake, cookies and cupcakes.
Breakfast club students could pay a donation for staff to serve breakfast to them at the table.
Students paid anything from 20p to £5 (team event) to enter the activities and £1 to wear Mufti.
In total we raised £1,000
It was fantastic to see all the year groups and staff work together to make this such a successful event.
