   Thank you to everyone who attended our summer fair last week . We were thankful that the rain held off just long enough for us all to enjoy ourselves!  It was great to see so many people from our school community and there was a lovely atmosphere all around . The children especially enjoyed the fair this year as we held an enterprise competition between classes to see who could make the most profit from£5. Thank you for your incredible generosity , we raised an incredible £1870! 

   As always the money raised goes into our F.O.B.S account which strives to keep the cost of class trips and residentials down for our families by subsidising costs.

  Thank you to everyone who helped or made donations for the fair , we are truly PROUD to be part of your community!
