A big well done to our fearless girls at Senior School who braved torrential rain to walk 10k in support of Plan International UK’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign. 

The whole of Senior School demonstrated true Blackheath High spirit by singing and marching their way through the sponsored walk in nearby Greenwich Park, raising over £3700 for Plan International UK. 

Joined by staff, parents and friends of the school, our girls showed incredible resilience in adverse weather conditions as they raised awareness and funds for the ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign, which focuses on giving girls an equal opportunity to boys. 

Mrs Chandler-Thompson, Head, said: “As a school, we are proud to part of the ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign, helping to change the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable girls. Plan International UK is an amazing charity tackling real issues that girls and young women face. It does a huge amount to improve the lives of young people and we firmly support that mission.”
