Thorpe House School
Young People
We want to purchase 36 Hi Viz rucksacks for seven children, encouraging them to walk or cycle to school.
About this cause
Thorpe House School is an independent day school for boys aged 3-16 located in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. We understand that boys will be boys and are often lively, opinionated, physical and competitive; we harness these qualities and produce well-educated, well-mannered and well-rounded, young men. Every boy at Thorpe House is unique, some are academics, some excel in sport and others in the performing arts; each boy is different and it is that difference that we nurture and value.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Active transport to school will promote health, well being and develop life skills in the boys. It is also the schools aim to reduce the congestion caused locally in Gerrards Cross during the school run. We have a Travel Plan (www.modeshiftstars.org) and car journeys have been reduced by 18% in the 2016-17 academic year.
