It's nearly time for some Festive Fun!

Due to the success of the last few years the Friends of Charles Darwin have been busy organising festive fun days for all the children again this year.

These will take place during the school day on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th December. Santa has been invited and he will be handing out presents to all the children, plus our school elves will be on hand to help the children pick out and wrap a gift for a family member of their choice!

There is a voluntary £1 donation on MCAS that will go to the Friends of Charles Darwin helping to support these great events.
