Wellacre joined with many other schools around the country to celebrate and support Sport Relief Day 2016.

As a school, the students and staff came together in enthusiastic support of the event by attending in their sportswear and participating in the 'Wellacre Mile'. Our challenge was to raise money by asking every member of our school community to donate to run, walk or bike on the school field during the course of Sport Relief Day.

During the previous week our Learning Directors presented a range of assemblies to all year groups, furthering our students understanding by communicating the harsh realities faced by children throughout the world and the ways they will benefit from the funds generated by Sport Relief. Our PE Faculty also organised extra sporting activities for our students during break time and lunch time, helping to build awareness of this important charity event.

In the last two years, Sport Relief funds have helped enable:

- Over 189 000 children to attend school and receive an education.

- 16 500 people get the support they need to improve their mental health.

- 734 000 children to be given life-saving vaccines.

- 23 projects to support people living with dementia.
