Tom underwent an operation to remove a brain tumour in February 2012 and has been recovering well ever since. He has been back at school full time since September 2012, full of life and energy. He undertook a series of assemblies to raise awareness of BTRS and also organised a whole school event on 19th April. Wear a hat day encouraged all staff and students to wear a hat for the day and make a donation to the charity.

Together, the hat day and raffle raised over £730 for Brain Tumour Research – a fabulous amount that will go a little way towards such a worthwhile cause!
