🅿️ Our friendly car parking team will be on hand at our main Norton Road and rear Ixworth Road car parks. Overflow parking is just a 3-minute walk away at the New Green Centre. Please arrive from 17:30 onwards.

🎤 Hear from College Principal, Maéve Taylor, alongside other key speakers at 17:45, 18:30 and 19:15 in the Auditorium. Each presentation is identical, so you only need to attend one.

Hi everyone, as you may be aware, last week saw Sheree & Julie's last fundraising activities for the Friends, having been active members for the last 11 years. Whilst you will still see them around the school, their days of organising fayres, discos, pumpkin competitions, cake sales and ice cream Fridays, sorting out the shed, packing pre-loved uniform, and many other things, have come to an end as their children have now left the school.

This means that a new team of Friends will need to form in September to continue putting on fun events for the children which result in the fundraising that the school needs.

We thought we would take a look to see how much the Friends had raised over the last 11 years and were amazed to see it totted up to £31,100 🤩 Along with generous cash donations from West Suffolk Council, Suffolk County Council, Centre Parcs, The Royal George, Tesco Stronger Starts, parents and benefactors that total £11,484, we have had £42,584 to spend on resources for the school. Every single penny raised is spent on resources for the school.

This money has been spent on many playground improvements - including the blue and green base to cover the mud around the play equipment and the most recent Hazel Climber, 3 picnic benches, 18 laptops (although these need replacing now due to age!), 4 x interactive whiteboards, those blinds in the hall (it was dazzling in there before), the bike rack in the playground, the sandpit along with the sand and its cover, as well as some smaller items needed in the classrooms. We have also funded Y6 leavers' hoodies, and their leavers' gifts of a scientific calculator and geometry set every year, chocolates for all the children every Easter and Christmas, and iced treats and drinks on Sports Day.

The money raised from the recent Summer Fayre and Disco will be added to the contribution of £500 from Tesco Stronger Starts to improve the play equipment.

The Friends thank every single person who has been part of the team over the last 11 years working hard to plan, organise and resource all that is needed to run the many events we have held. We are grateful to everyone who has donated items to tombolas, classboxes, raffles, cakes for cake sales and refreshment stalls, coins for class coin challenges (a pre-COVID thing when people had cash!), and their time to help run events. And of course, thank you to everyone who has attended and supported our events which has meant we have been able to raise such a fantastic amount for the children at our school.

Wishing you all a fabulous Summer holiday ☀️

For now we thank you for all the support you have given the Friends this year, and we we look forward to welcoming everyone to school on Thursday 3rd September.

Have a wonderful summer ☀️😎🎉
