Pevensey pupils go crazy for Alopecia UK

Children at Pevensey and Westham School and Little PAWS Nursery enjoyed a vibrant Crazy Hair Day this week, raising money for Alopecia UK.

The school was filled with colour as pupils arrived with imaginative hairstyles, from bright wigs to bold, sculpted designs. Even the youngest children at Little PAWS Nursery joined in, proudly showing off their creative looks.

The event was organised by Rosie, a Year 5 pupil, who showed fantastic initiative in bringing the idea to life. With the support of her friends and staff, the day combined fun with an important message of support for those affected by hair loss.

Rosie said, "I wanted to raise awareness for what it's like to live with alopecia like me and raise money for Alopecia UK at the same time." After school, Rosie and her friends ran a bake sale, offering a range of homemade treats. The event was well supported by families and helped raise valuable funds for the charity.

Headteacher, Luke Paramor, said, “We are incredibly proud of Rosie and all the children. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves while supporting such a meaningful cause.”

The day was a great success, highlighting the school community’s spirit, kindness and teamwork.
