Learning about our Partner School Lerang’wa

This year we will be visiting our partnership primary school in Lerang’wa, Tanzania, for the first time since 2019.  The partnership began in 2006 and has involved 300 or so Sixth Form pupils teaching at the school, and some staff from Lerang’wa visiting here.  Fundraising at Caterham School has helped the village to develop the school, with new toilets, a food store and kitchen, and we fund lunch for all of the pupils every school day, making a real difference to attendance and attainment.  This year Prep School pupils will be writing postcards to ‘pals’ at Lerang’wa. We will also be collecting pairs of spectacles that our pupils have finished with (there is no opticians in Lerang’wa) and we need 850 friendship bracelets! All contributions of bracelets will be gratefully received.
