**Update**

Once again Miss Hood has donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust.

Two years ago, she donated 13 inches of her hair to create wigs for children going through hair loss.

Her minimum goal is £700, as this represents the average cost to provide one real-hair wig, including its making, fitting, and styling, to a child or young person experiencing hair loss. She will be having it done on Thursday 13th August

Year 6!

It feels like only yesterday you were tiny newcomers in jumpers far too big for you. You've grown—not just in height, but in confidence, kindness, and maturity.

As you go forward, be brave, stay curious, and always be brilliant.

We are all wishing you all the best in your future.

From all at Friar's Grove

Well done to everyone involved.
