Details of the RCF and the bursary awards are set out elsewhere in this report. The school is very actlve in the local community, with a nuw.ber of longstanding relationships with public benefit sitting alongside new projects added every year. Some of the hiBhlghts are as follows. Community Action Support- Penn's Place Path Buildin8 Project-june 2025 This year Churcher'5 College Community Action Servi5 ccntinued the project begun last year at the back of Penn's Place. The aim was to create a 140-metre path, enabling ihe people of Petersfield to walk from the Rother Nature Reserve to the Serpent Trail without getting wet feet. Prioi to our work, the path was impassable for ten months of the year. The task involved movin8 more than 20 tonnes of 8ravel entirely by hand and wheelbarrow. In addition, we mulched and weeded the remaining trees in the Tercentenary Wood, planted In 2022. Approxirnately 50% of the trees have survived-an attrition rate that was expected. Ourthanks go to volunteerAndrew Williams, who ha5 supported us throughout the year by keepin8 weeds do•in and helping to monitor the tree survival rate. This year also saw our highest level of student participation to date. Thirty-two Third Year students joined in on one day. while more than 90 Lower Sixth students took part on another. supported by eight KS3 students from the Green Team. A significant part of our Success is due to the strong partnership we have built over the years with the Friends of the Heath, led by Jordan Bleach. Their volunteers prepared the ground by laying wood before our arfival, and they also distributed the surplus gravel after the main work was complete. Looking ahead, we hope to complete the Penn's Place project next year. - CHURCHEIIS COLLEGE Page 7
