Our School Community

Leconfield Primary School has close links with the local and international community.

We feel it is important for our children to grow up feeling part of a community and learning how to both find and give support.

In this regard, the children of Leconfield Primary School work very hard to raise money and provide support for those less fortunate than themselves.

Their involvement in local and international community work makes us extremely proud.

 

Rotakids

Something we are infinitely proud of is our connection to the Rotary Club of Holderness.

As of 2016, we are currently the only school in Hull to represent the Rotakids branch of the prestigious club.

This year already, the Rotakids from our school have collected over £350 to buy 6 wheelchairs for people suffering with polio. These are now on their way to Africa.

Another incredible difference the hardworking children of our Rotakids have made to the lives of others is the £56 they raised and donated to Sight Saver.

This charity works to help people with failing eyesight in various countries. A tablet costing just 7p can save a persons eyesight. So the money raised by Westcott Rotakids has actually helped to save the eyesight of 2 villages (each costing £28!)

 

Links with Ghana

Our school is linked to a village high up in the Volta Region of Ghana, called Santra Kofi.

Through this link we have been able to support the village in several ways:

  • With the help of Westcott children bag packing, we have already donated: computers, desks, chairs and clothing to the village school.

  • Thanks to our special link we have also been able to support a football team being set up in the village.

  • Two 40 foot containers full of aid have been sent, thanks to the work previously done by our school in the early days of our link with the village.

  • We have helped support libraries being set up in 4 schools.

  • By fundraising £200 through previous events, we have directly supported children in the village to take exams.

  • Another £50 raised by our school at events such as bag packing, helped provide water to people in the village for a month.

‘The choice of after school and lunchtime activities is great. The reward assemblies are also a great idea.’
