MCS's 2020-21 page is here (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mcsmustardseed2020).*

Over the whole of 2019-20, we managed to hit our £40,000 target, which was then doubled by a generous OW. This has paid for Mustardseed's sports field: the Waynflete Field. Thank you for your support!

In June, we celebrated our Founders' Day by virtually coming together to complete a 1480-based challenge. From 148km cycle rides to 148 sit-ups, all pupils are getting involved to raise money for Mustardseed and to celebrate the founding of our community.

Mustardseed School was conceived by two friends: Kenneth Buwule, a Ugandan school teacher, book editor and post graduate scholar of peace and conflict resolution, and John Caird, a British writer and theatre director of plays, musicals and opera whose work has been performed all round the world. Kenneth and John share a deep sense of care for the health of the world in ecological and educational terms.

They want to inspire a new generation of young people with the knowledge, the will and the self-confidence to make their world a better, greener and more peaceful place.

Mustardseed School will diligently prepare young children with the requisite academic and practical skills to pursue their ambitions into their secondary education and beyond.
