Community

Concern for people in the community is a mark of our Christian responsibility.  Bishop Ramsey students are involved in the community in many ways.  Money is raised through various events and activities throughout the year to support local, national and international charities.  Lent Appeal Week is a major focus of the school’s life and significant sums are raised for charities, nominated by the School Council.  At Harvest collections are made for the homeless and, at Christmas, gift parcels are distributed to those in need.

All Sixth Formers undertake community service, assisting children, the elderly or those in hospital. Fund-raising, charity events and the School Council, on which every Tutor Group is represented, are successfully organised by the students.  Many actively participate in the national Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.  Every other year in the summer groups of Sixth Form students spend two weeks doing community work in our partner school in Malosa, Malawi. Our work with Common Good Schools is lived out through the 'Tea on Tour' visits by students and members of the Chaplaincy Team to communities within the parishes of the Willesden Area. 

The school welcomes and values the support of parents/carers and local industrialists who work with staff at our annual Year 10 Industry Links Days and at our Careers Fair.
