Nailsea School's Harvest Festival raised an incredible amount of food donations for a local food bank.

The student-led campaign was a light-hearted house competition where each tutor group was encouraged to bring in donations for the worthy cause.

In total, 275 items were donated.

These included toiletries and cleaning products as well as food items such as tinned fruit, tea bags, biscuits, pasta, and other savoury items.

The winning tutor group was Phoenix 5.

Each tutor group is made up of a range of year groups from year 7 to 11 in the vertical house system.

"I’m really proud that our students have been proactive in supporting our local community.

"It is heart-warming that they have decided to put others first in such a practical and successful way."

The Phoenix House captains, Aaron and Lowena, helped the community group load up the groceries.

Phoenix House represents a quarter of the main school pupils, and this is the first of many challenges and quizzes each house will undertake.
