As we head into the busy Christmas shopping season, we’re excited to share a simple, completely free way you can help raise vital funds for Gordano School — just by shopping online. 

Throughout November, supporters can generate an instant £2 bonus donation for the school simply by creating an Easyfundraising account on the App and choosing Gordano School as their cause. That’s £2 donated before you’ve even made a purchase! 

Easyfundraising is a free website and app that turns your everyday online shopping into donations. When you shop with over 8,000 retailers – including John Lewis, eBay, Argos, ASOS and Booking.com – the retailer sends a small “thank you” donation to your chosen cause, at no cost to you. 

How to Get Your £2 Bonus for Gordano School:

1. Install the Easyfundraising app 
Use their simple tools to get set up – the more people who download the app, the more bonus donations we earn.  

2. Create an account via the app within 24 hours 
Choose Gordano School as your cause. Every new sign-up completed in November earns us £2. 

3. Raise even more when you shop 
Once you’re set up, every eligible purchase you make through Easyfundraising will continue to support the school all year round. 

4. Share with family and friends via Promote The Free £2 App-eal | Promotional tools & social shares 

Plus, when you raise your first £5, Easyfundraising will double your donation! There’s no catch, no hidden charges, and it’s an incredibly easy way for families, friends and the wider community to support Gordano School.  

Thank you for supporting our school — every small action makes a big difference! 

On 11th November 2025, two talented teams from Gordano School proudly represented us at the Autumn leg of the Bristol Sixth Forms Team Maths Competition, held in the impressive Great Hall at Bristol Grammar School. This prestigious event has a long history and expanded significantly this year—making 2025 a landmark moment as Gordano joined for the very first time. Head of Maths Mr Woods and Maths Excellence Coordinator Miss Goodwin joined them at the event.

Fitzroy House recently wrapped up an incredible Charity Week, raising an impressive £136.81 for a great cause! The week was packed with fun activities and community spirit, showcasing the creativity and generosity of our students and staff.

This Halloween, Gordano’s Sixth Form History and Politics students - and their teachers - showed off their creativity in a unique seasonal challenge: carving pumpkins with a historical or political twist!

Gordano School is delighted to celebrate the outstanding success of two of its talented students, Ella and Jess, who achieved remarkable results at the Gymnastics Classic Challenge National Finals in Surrey.

Training locally at The Academy in Portishead, both girls were selected as part of an elite team of six to represent the South West region—an impressive achievement in itself. Competing against 14 strong regional teams from across the country, the South West team delivered exceptional performances and proudly secured the Gold Team Title, with Ella and Jess playing a vital role in the victory.

Individually, the competition was fierce, with 84 gymnasts participating in their category. Jess achieved an impressive 8th place overall, demonstrating consistency and excellence across all apparatus. In her first-ever national final, Ella delivered an extraordinary performance, claiming gold medals on vault and uneven bars, and finishing as the overall champion.

We are incredibly proud of Ella and Jess for their dedication, hard work, and outstanding achievements. Their success is a testament not only to their talent and determination but also to the fantastic support they receive from their coaches, families, and the school community.

Congratulations to both girls—we are so proud of you!

We’re thrilled to share that two of our A Level students, Bessie and Tess, have been accepted onto the prestigious Shape My City programme — a year-long, award-winning talent accelerator for 15–18 year olds passionate about the built environment.
