💙 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Amazing Year 6 PTFA Volunteers 💙

As another school year comes to an end, we’d like to say a huge thank you to some very special members of our PTFA family whose children are now moving on to their next adventure.

✨ Helen Boxley – thank you for always being willing to help with absolutely anything. Your creativity, positivity and “can do” attitude have made such a difference over the years.

🎨 Amy Whittall – thank you for bringing smiles to so many faces with your fantastic face painting. Your talent has been a highlight at so many of our events.

☕ Polly Bedworth – thank you for keeping everyone fuelled in the café and for always looking after others. Whether serving teas, making endless cups of tea or stepping in wherever needed, you’ve been an invaluable part of our team.

🍰 Lindsey Shaw – thank you for all the time you’ve given over the years, especially helping in the café. Your support has always been so appreciated.

💙 Katie Hill – thank you for the hours you have generously given to support the PTFA over the years. Your willingness to help and your commitment have been greatly appreciated and have made a real difference to our school community.

🎁 Katy Hill – thank you for the incredible amount of time, care and dedication you’ve given to the PTFA over the years. From countless preparation sessions and creating resources at home to late-night crafting and quietly making sure everything was ready for our events, your hard work has been truly exceptional. Much of what you’ve done has happened behind the scenes, but it has never gone unnoticed, and we are so grateful for everything you’ve contributed.

To each of you, thank you for your generosity, enthusiasm and commitment. We are so grateful for everything you’ve done for our school community and wish you and your Year 6 children every success and happiness as you begin this exciting new chapter. Once part of the PTFA family, always part of the PTFA family 💙✨
