St Bede’s has joined the fight to end ‘period poverty’ for schoolgirls. Figures show that 48 per cent of UK girls struggle to pay for their sanitary products. Here at St Bede’s we are involved in The Red Box Project; an initiative that quietly ensures that no young woman misses out on her education because of her period.

Sanitary provisions are available to all students from Mrs Welsh and bins provided in the Year 5/6 toilets.

If your child has any questions regarding this please speak to Mrs Welsh.
