ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE
It is an important feature of life at
Teddies that the community is aware of
life beyond the school perimeter. Our
location in Oxford, at the heart of a real
community, makes it possible for our
pupils to engage with organisations and
charities outside school. This year, for
instance, pupils have helped out at local
primary schools, worked with the charity
FarmAbility to offer opportunities for
young people with learning disabilities
(see page 23) and supported the Oxford-
based refugee charity, Sanctuary Housing.
Two members of our community have
now taken their philanthropic activities
to a global level. Sixth Former Kian
Akhavan, founder of the organisation
Girls Write the Future, and Maths Teacher
Henry Chitsenga, founder of the charity
SuChHope, tell us about their parallel
efforts to improve access to education
for young people in Africa.
