Wacky Hair Day: fun with a purpose

At Bridgewater School, our Prep pupils have shown that kindness, compassion and teamwork can make a big difference in the lives of others. In a wonderful display of solidarity, our Prep ambassadors organised a special fundraising event for the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair due to medical conditions.

The inspiration for this initiative came from one of our own pupils, who shared her personal story with classmates. She explained why she now wears a wig and how the Little Princess Trust has supported her during this journey. Her courage and openness touched the hearts of pupils, sparking a wave of enthusiasm to help raise funds for this incredible cause.

To support the charity, pupils were invited to participate in Wacky Hair Day, bringing their wildest and most creative hairstyles to school in exchange for a £2 donation. From colourful mohawks to gravity-defying ponytails, the day was filled with a shared sense of purpose. But the fundraising didn’t stop there. Led by Head Boy, Olly, our Prep Ambassadors also designed and sold special t-shirts and mugs, to make an even bigger impact for the charity.

We are incredibly proud of everyone who contributed to this meaningful day. The funds raised will go directly to the Little Princess Trust, helping them to continue their vital work and bring smiles to more young people in need. Together, we’ve shown how even small actions can make a big difference!

We believe that individuals count. So we are interested in what makes us all different. Not just what makes us the same.
