PFA Update

The School fete is coming up on us fast. This is the biggest fundraising event of the year and will this year contribute towards updating the play areas, resurface the basketball and fixing up the grounds, which have been damaged by the building site. I am sure you will agree having more space for our kids to play at lunch is a really important intiative and any donations you can offer or time spent volunteering on a stall,  will be well and truely worth it. In the past volunteers have met new people, or used it as an opportunity to hang out with their friends, and a result have enjoyed the time spent.  I urge  you all to read below and see how you can help support the events running this term.

FETE UPDATE

Donations - We are accepting Books, games, clothing, and craft items at the second hand uniform stall on Wednesday and Friday morning 8.30am-9.00am through till the Fete. Please do not drop of outside these times, unless special arrangements are made by emailing the PFA. We will confirm times for donation of perishables nearer the time.
