In this morning’s Spiritual Assembly, our Outreach Prefects (Chris, Kristin, Erin, Kitty, Ben and Sam) spoke to the whole school about the Aldworth Partnership – a student-led initiative to get every student involved in some way in community service, and thereby leave a legacy of service for future Blue Coat students to follow.

Rather than just being transactional ie raising funds and giving it to a charity, the Aldworth Partnership aims to be transformational ie will benefit both sides of the partnership.

The partnership exists on three levels:
* Over the fence service, which any student can become involved with eg Primary School Outreach, Community Action
* Individual ventures and school projects, which involve smaller groups working together eg a sleepout
* Overseas service, which involves the most fundraising and planning and is the most life-changing eg Ghana Project, Worldwide Expeditions, Brass for Africa tour to Uganda
