Partnerships and International Projects

This partnership was part of the Northampton Trustee Fund (NTF), a charity founded by Andy Butler, a former teacher at Millway School. The school held annual sponsored Cross Country events to raise funds for education in Penyem. Although the NTF charity ceased operations, the school is exploring similar sponsorship opportunities, including potential links in Uganda.
