Shaun the Sheep, Save the Children’s ‘Head of Wool’!

This year, Shaun the Sheep returns in his woolliest role yet – as Save the Children’s ‘Head of Wool’ for Christmas Jumper Day – and to celebrate his co-knit-ment to the day, he is launching a nationwide prize draw for schools. 

Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day is taking place on Thursday 11th December 2025 and Shaun is encouraging Primary schools and Secondary schools up and down the country to 'Be a sheep. Follow the herd. Join the flock' by signing up to take part! 

Schools that register by Monday 1st December will be in with the chance of winning a baa-rilliant prize thanks to Shaun the Sheep’s creators, Academy Award®-winning animation studio Aardman, and Save the Children.
