Last Saturday, we celebrated in true style with our SHSA #1884Fundraiser, marking Sutton High School’s 140th anniversary as part of the GDST (Girls’ Day School Trust) family. And wow – what a night! 💜 Parents, governors, alumnae, and the wider SHS community came together for an evening of fun, fundraising, and generosity.
Head Beth Dawson, set the tone for the evening with her opening speech on how bursaries can transform lives, while we had the pleasure of welcoming back alumna and bursary recipient Aletha Shepherd from the #Classof2004 who shared her inspirational story.
Things got really exciting when MC & DJ Andrew Morris hosted the auction, including a hotly contested bidding war for the Cook’d by Helen Nathan dinner party – eight lucky people will get to enjoy a fabulous feast! The Wheelbarrow of Beer raffle was a crowd favourite raising over £800, and the lucky winner was none other than Mrs Sharma.
A massive thank you to our tireless sixth formers who welcomed guests and served throughout the night, the amazing Chartwells team for keeping everyone fed, our fab in-house catering team, the ever-brilliant Sutton High caretakers, and the wonderful staff volunteers Mrs James, Mr Essenhigh, and Mrs Griffin. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
