Thank you to The Friends of Compton and Up Marden CE School for their huge contribution and support.

Our food project made it into Parliament! ✨

Thank you everyone for your continued support from launching in October last year, and as it improves as we introduce new dishes and food education.

Big thank you to Ellie Hughes⁩ - we couldn’t ask for a better chef, cooking delicious food for our kids. The chicken curry is so tasty - I hope you get to try it next year!

And a special thank you to Bella whose baby this is and without her time and effort behind the scenes this wouldn’t have happened.

The ‘friends’ funded the kitchen renovation, buying *actual* ovens so we could get rid of the microwaves.

A massive reminder of the pivotal role the Friends’ fundraising plays in providing essential kit for the school and all our kids.

🌟 Massive team effort. 🌟

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER

And just like that, the 2025/26 school year comes to a close.

Thank you all so much for your thoughtful cards, wonderful gifts, and beautiful flowers. Your generosity is so greatly appreciated.

Although we have a staff training day tomorrow, we couldn't let Miss Harris leave to become Mrs Jack without a fitting surprise wedding arch at the end of the school day.

To those returning to us in September, and to those joining us for the first time, we can't wait to see you and hear all about your summer adventures!

With fond farewells to our departing Yr 6 pupils, all of us at Compton and Up Marden CE School wish every one of our families a happy and safe summer break.
