--- title: "Non uniform day" url: "https://longbenton.org.uk/news/2017-07-05-non-uniform-day" school: "Longbenton High School" --- # Non uniform day 5 July 2017 Longbenton High School encourages our students to support charitable events within our community. As you may be aware students have been involved in an inter-form fundraising competition this term to raise money for Arina Primary school, our partner school in Kenya. I am really proud of how our students engaged with this and it resulted in the purchase of desks for the young people at Arina to work at instead of working on a mud floor as they do currently. To reward our students for their effort this term we will be holding a non-school uniform day on Friday 14 July 2017. We are asking that our students make a contribution of £1 which will be given to the charity Team Kenya. If you would like more information about the charity please visit [**www.teamkenya.org.uk**](http://www.teamkenya.org.uk)**.** Their main focus is on educating girls, empowering woman and transforming communities. Please do remember that it is still, in every other respect, a normal school day and that the learning that takes place is essential. Equally attendance on this day is vital. Thank you in advance for supporting the event. Yours sincerely Mr P Quinn Headteacher [ Sailing trip update 04/07/2017](https://longbenton.org.uk/news/2017-07-04-sailing-trip-update-04-07-2017) [Sailing trip update 06/07/2017 ](https://longbenton.org.uk/news/2017-07-06-sailing-trip-update-06-07-2017) ![Longbenton High School](https://files.schudio.com/longbenton-high-school-2/images/logo/Digital_FullCol_Hor_WhiteOut_0_0.png) ### Longbenton High School Hailsham Avenue Longbenton Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne & Wear NE12 8ER (0191) 218 9500 (0191) 270 6760 ### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://longbenton.org.uk/contact) - [Ofsted](https://longbenton.org.uk/ofsted-reports) - Curriculum Overview - Prospectus ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/longbentonhs) - [X](https://twitter.com/longbentonhs) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/longbentoncc) © Copyright 2016–2026 Longbenton High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://longbenton.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
