Advent countdown at Sybil Elgar school
We are all looking forward to the festive season and have started the countdown with a special advent calendar that leads on from our Antibullying week theme ‘Just one Kind Word’.
Join us in the tradition
By completing an act of kindness during the days before Christmas, we can all make someone else feel special during this festive period.

Christmas jumper day at Sybil Elgar
What is Christmas Jumper Day?
Christmas Jumper Day is a fundraising event held each year by Save the Children.
It’s a great chance to enjoy some festive fun while raising money to help children in the UK and around the world.
The first Christmas Jumper Day was held in 2012 and millions of pounds have been raised just by pulling on a sweater!
This year, Christmas Jumper Day is on Friday 10th December 2021.
Christmas items for sale
Please see our Christmas gifts catalogue for extra special handcrafted Christmas items for sale.
We celebrated the official opening of the Sybil Elgar School Business Enterprise venture on 8th December with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Our Deputy Principal cut the ribbon and inaugurated the enterprise. She addressed the students and praised them for their handmade Christmas items. Students are encouraged to make more items and develop skills to keep business enterprise running and flourishing. The Chair of the student council delivered a speech and said that they will make quality products and reinvest the profit in Design Technology. The aim of Business Enterprise is to develop skills such as sewing, cooking, cutting, designing and problem-solving skills. It was a joyful moment for all of us.
