The school is situated in fourteen acres of wooded grounds and gardens on the outskirts of Billericay but in the village of Ramsden Heath.

International Projects
Shelterbox
ShelterBox is a Rotary-led charity working with disaster-hit families around the world, offering emergency shelter and other essential items to support them in rebuilding their lives. Every disaster is different and so is every community, so we spend time with those affected to make sure we can offer the right support at the right time to help them recover.
Rotary Foundation Projects
End Polio Now
The eradication of polio is one of Rotary’s longest standing and most significant efforts. Along with our partners, Rotary has helped immunise more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won’t stop until we end the disease for good.
The Rotary Foundation
An initial contribution of $26.50 in 1917 set in motion a powerful force that has transformed millions of lives around the globe. Today the Rotary Foundation still transforms the gifts it receives into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
