Letter to editor – NSPCC’s Number Day

On February 4, schools across the UK will come together for a day filled with fun educational maths activities, as part of the NSPCC’s Number Day.

This is an annual event that sees teachers and pupils raise vital funds for the NSPCC so the charity can continue its important work protecting children from abuse and supporting them with any issues they may face. It is free for any school to sign up and there’s still time for schools in Wales to get involved!

Once a school has registered, the NSPCC will send it everything it needs to make its Number Day a success. This will include bilingual resources that can be used in the classroom, including games and activities.

Schools will also be sent tips and ideas on how to fundraise, resources to help promote Number Day, . information on keeping children safe from harm, and online safety quizzes that can be used with pupils of all ages.

After the challenges of the past 18 months and the disruption that children have faced, we hope it will be a day of fun to look forward to. I’d encourage any school that hasn’t already signed up to visit the NSPCC website and get involved.

By fundraising for the NSPCC through Number Day, schools will help our staff continue to be there for those facing abuse, neglect or struggling with their mental health.

To sign up to take part in Number Day, all you need to do is visit the NSPCC’s website and search for Number Day and fill in your school’s details using the registration form.
