🌟 A Week of Incredible Kindness and Community Support 🌟

Last week, we took delivery of our second minibus, kindly funded in memory of Toni, following a heartfelt donation from the Wright family.

Then at the weekend, the Clacton Railway Club held a fantastic charity fundraising night, raising £400 towards our new soft play.

Also this weekend, River Happer completed the London Parks Half Marathon in memory of one of our pupils, Ralph, with fundraising going directly towards our new soft play. And today, after completing his half marathon yesterday, River visited school to donate an incredible £1,000.

We are overwhelmed by the kindness shown to our school community. Every act of support helps us create the very best environment for our pupils.

Thank you to everyone for their continued support! 💙
