Heathfield’s annual St Nicholas’s Stalls took place on 22 November 2014. Following Heathfield tradition, Mrs Heywood opened the doors together with the youngest girl in the school, Sophie (Form I), to the excitement of the Heathfield girls, their families, staff and Old Girls. Austen’s choir welcomed everyone with festive cheer whilst De Valois welcomed visitors of all ages into their Santa’s Grotto. 28 independent stall holders attracted buyers with their array of goods and the HPA offered a selection of sandwiches and soup with a glass of champagne. The Sports Hall was a hive of activity as the four Houses worked tremendously hard to raise money for their chosen charities. Austen was supporting the Dyspraxia Foundation and Aspire, De Valois was fundraising for Hadassah UK, Seacole had chosen Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation and Somerville selected UK AIDS trust. Money raised on the day will also be donated to the school charity, The Honeypot Charity, along with Flip’s Fund and St Saviour’s Priory. In the Sports Hall there were stalls of donated goods, bottle and sweet tombolas, raffles, silent auctions, bauble bobbing, a lucky dip, face painting and much more. As always the event was a huge success, wonderfully supported by our ever-generous parents. We have raised the staggering total of £15,000 – a great testimony to the hard work of girls and staff.
