With just half a day to go here's a little look back on the year and how much we're raised so far. There's still time to keep raising through match funding or EasyFundraising before we close down our accounts for this academic year and ahead to 26/27 🥰
If you need any support with any of those things just reach out and we can help!

Once again thank you to all of our supporters and volunteers over the last year, we couldn't do it without you!

We'll be sharing a calendar of events for the next year very soon.
A little reminder that all of the funds raise are given to the school at our AGM in October, which is advertised and anyone can attend. Here you can hear our annual report, funds raised and the school will share how they plan to use the funds for this year and their hopes for future fundraising in the next 12 months.

We're always looking for new members to join our committee so if you'd like to find out more get in touch 🥰

Before we all melt completely… 🥵☀️

A HUGE thank you to all of our amazing little partygoers for coming along to our Infant Mini Party today! 💙

With temperatures reaching “surface of the sun” levels, we had to completely rethink our plans at the last minute. That meant moving everyone into a different hall, rewriting plans, updating risk assessments and making lots of changes behind the scenes to keep everyone as cool and as safe as possible.

None of that would have been possible without our incredible volunteers and the wonderful school staff who stayed behind after a long day to help. You really are absolute superstars. ❤️

Yes, it may have felt like we were hosting the party inside a giant sauna… but hearing so many children leave saying, “That was the best party ever!” made every sweaty minute worthwhile. 🥹

Now it’s back to work/looking after our own children… preferably with an ice bath, an industrial fan and about 47 ice lollies! 🧊🍦😂

Thank you for another brilliant event. We hope everyone has a lovely, cool weekend! ☀️💙

A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers for helping at our junior disco last night.
Lots of fun had by all and we just couldn’t do it without you!

Our pupils were absolutely fantastic too – so beautifully behaved and such a joy to watch. It was lovely seeing them laughing, dancing, singing at the top of their lungs and making memories with their friends. 🥰

We hope the children had an amazing time… and that they slept really well afterwards! (You’re welcome, parents! 😉)

Next up… our Infant Mini Party next Friday! We can’t wait to do it all over again (just with slightly smaller dance moves!).
Have a fabulous weekend, everyone! ❤️

All current logo uniform has been reduced to £1 on our online store. This will still be allowed to be worn when the new logo comes out, so great for spares, but we just want to get rid of all the stock we have to make room for new logo items next year.

We are always grateful for donations of 2nd hand (new logo) uniform in good condition, please contact [email protected] if you have some to donate

🌞🥵 Congratulations parents & carers… you survived the hottest school week known to mankind (or at least it felt like it!). Between sun cream, water bottles, melting lunchboxes and children insisting they were still cold in the morning… you are all winners! 🏆👏

The finish line is in sight and we’ve still got plenty of fun to squeeze in before the summer holidays…

🪩 Friday 3rd July – Junior Disco
🎉 Friday 10th July – Mini Party (Take 2!)
👕 Monday 21st July – Happy Bags Collection

We’ll also wave goodbye to some absolutely incredible Year 6 parents who’ve been a huge part of our PTA, we’re on the lookout for some new faces to join the team next school year.

Whether you’ve got loads of time or just the odd hour here and there, we’d love to have you. Come and help us make more brilliant memories (and occasionally wonder why we volunteered! 😂).

We’ve got this… nearly there! ☀️🎈
