Friday 1st October SPONSORED WALK. ALL YEARS—SPONSORED WALK 1st October 2021: Each year we hold a very successful Sponsored Walk to raise money for a range of additional school equipment. In addition to the financial benefits to the school, the event is an extremely valuable experience for students in terms of promoting healthy activity, positive social interaction with their peers and staff, physical fitness and an appreciation of our local countryside. We are inviting parents to support the walk by volunteering to act as marshals. If you would like to help, please use this link https://forms.gle/xk9KPzNCdtM6oFGo9 to fill in the online form (or email Cindy Thatcher on [email protected]). Marshals will be contacted with further information in due course. More details about the sponsored walk HERE and a copy of the sponsor form can be found HERE.
ALL YEARS: Christmas Hampers: At Christmas we collect donations from our school community and use these to make up festive food hampers for the senior members of our community. Each year we try to ensure that the list of potential recipients is kept up to date. If you are aware of a member of the community that would benefit from a festive hamper please contact Mrs Belcher.
