Last term, the Academy Council students raised £325.00 by collecting loose change during Form time, driven very much by Yr11 student Luke Bellamy.        Luke decided to support this particular charity after reading an article about Alana Mills, a  three-year-old girl who is undergoing chemotherapy for Leukemia at Queen’s Medical Centre.  Organisers of various charity events  are hoping to raise enough money to help Alana fulfil her dream of going to Euro Disney.

Academy Council Coordinator  Mrs Vicki Geeson said, `the community is very much at the heart of The Priory Ruskin Academy; our students raised over £7000.00 last term for local, national and overseas charities`.
