Summer Fete- Thank You

Thank you to everybody who came along to the Summer Fete last Saturday. The event had a lovely atmosphere and it was great to see pupils, parents and family members enjoying the day together. Thank you to everybody who offered up their time to make the fete such a success. Events like this really wouldn’t be possible without the excellent support we receive from our school community!

A thank you from the PTA:

Thank you to everyone who helped to make the day a success, all the advance planning, shopping, collects ads. For the programme and persuading businesses to donate prizes. To those of you who worked hard on the stalls throughout the day and stayed to tidy-up. To those of you that spent lots of money! The fete could not have taken place without all your wonderful support. We would also like to thank teachers and staff who gave up their time.  We are really pleased to tell you that the fete made £2,308.74.
