Heathfield School is proud to be associated with "The David Rundle Trust".
Every year Deri Rundle comes in and talks to the Year 9 students about the role of her charity. This is a fantastic lesson and the students gain an enormous amount. The title of the talk is "Small is Beautiful" and highlights the role of "small" charities but effective ones.

Students work on what this experience meant to them and how Deri sees our involvement can be found below:
