Fundraising Event

Thank you very much to everyone who came along on Saturday, made a donation and helped out with our summer fair. It was a great morning in the sunshine and we are delighted to have made a profit of £2712, which is amazing!

We were also delighted with the incredible generosity shown recently for our sonsored run. The final total raised for this was £1612. This money will be used to buy new sporting strips, tracksuits and equipment for our school teams.

Thanks you so much to everyone.

Looking for parent helpers to come into school this week to help with getting things ready for the Summer Fair. If you can spare any time your help would be very much appreciated.

Calling all our fabulous home bakers. we would love to have some of your delicious homebaking to sell at our tearoom on Saturday. All donations can be handed in on Friday or Saturday morning.

Summer Fair is this Saturday at 10.30-1.00

At this stage we are still looking for more donations for our raffle and tombola which are looking very bare at the moment.

We also need volunteers to help on our stalls on the day. At the moment we only have about 15 helpers. If you can spare any time on Saturday please contact the school office or message this page to help out.

Many thanks
