Red Nose Day is a fundraising day in support of Comic Relief, which was set up in 1985 in response to the famine in Ethiopia.  It is a major UK charity with a vision of a just world, free from poverty.  Over the last few years, monies raised have helped to support over 3 million people in the UK and around the world.

At Smestow Academy, we have raised money today by donating any spare change that we can give, wearing red socks, designing red noses and (by popular demand!) a samosa sale at breaktime!  The samosas were a sellout and we look forward to seeing how much money we have raised!

Our fundraising event is another way that we demonstrate active citizenship in school as part of our wider personal development programme.  Our pupils have demonstrated our Smestow values by making a difference every day and welcoming and caring environment.
