Great Clacton Church of England Junior School

The fayre is open! Don't let the weather put you off - all of our fabulous stalls are inside, so come down and join us!

We are confident that there will be a break in the rain and the company we have doing the fireworks display have assured us all should be fine! We are aiming for around 6:30 to set them off but this will be weather dependent.

Come and join the fun!

Preparations are well underway with gates opening in just over 20mins!

It's the day of the fayre!

Gates open at 5pm. Street parking is available on the roads surrounding the school but please park considerately so that our neighbours' driveways are not blocked and there would be room for emergency services to get through should they need to.

This is a cash only event, both on the gate and all of the stalls.

Raffle tickets will be on sale in the hall - we have some great prizes...even more have been added since this photo was taken!

In the hall, there will be a range of craft stalls from local businesses as well as stalls run by children from each of our classes who are having a competition to see which class can make the most profit from their home-made crafts! Please do support them if you can.

Our BBQ will be serving hotdogs and burgers (vegetarian option available) and we have a hot chocolate stall where you can customise your drink to keep you warm while you wait for our firework finale!

And don't forget to visit the main man himself in his festive grotto! Just £3 per child, including craft and a chocolate gift.

We look forward to seeing lots of you this evening!

This time tomorrow our Christmas Fayre & Firework Extravaganza will be in full swing! Gates open at 5pm with fireworks being let off around 6:30pm (exact timing depends on the weather!)

We have some fabulous prizes in our raffle, including two wonderful hampers of goodies, a photography shoot worth £160, two Theatre Train dance school passes, a book set and lots lots more! Thank you to everyone who has kindly donated a prize. Tickets are just £1 per strip and are available from the school office tomorrow or at the event tomorrow night.

And don't forget, Santa is making a guest appearance at the fayre tomorrow! Just £3 per child which includes a craft activity in the workshop and a chocolate gift from Santa.

Please do share this post and spread the word to friends and family. We hope to see lots of you there!

We are excited to announce that Santa will be visiting our Christmas Fayre & Firework Extravaganza on Thursday 7th December!

Start your visit in the workshop where you can make a Christmas card or calendar to take home with you, before one of Santa's elves collects you for your personal visit to Santa's grotto!

£3 per child (includes a gift!)

Our community shop is now open to the public and not just for families at Great Clacton and Burrsville. We have also added an extra opening time, every Monday at 1-1.30pm, please just come to front office and staff will bring you through.
Please share this post with family and friends!

Just a reminder that, thanks to a generous donation from a local company, we have a selection of new toys to give to families in our local community who may be finding this year financially challenging.
Please pop into the school and a member of staff will take you to our community shop - we still have a number of toys left, as you can see in the photos.
We also have some gift bags with festive food treats to share.
These are not just for families from our school but anyone from the local community who is in need.
Please share this post to make people aware. Thank you.
