children in need

A huge well done to Mrs Hamilton and the children from the Enterprise Committee and Mrs Fearnside-Brogan and the Pupil Council for organising a fun-filled fundraising day for Children in Need. A massive thank you and well done to each and every one of our pupils who took part in our Children in Need Day including coming to school in fancy dress and taking part enthusiastically in various Pudsey-themed activities. Photographs will be uploaded to the website next week.

We are delighted to tell you that we raised a whopping £912.88 for Children in Need thanks to the generosity of our families. We couldn’t be prouder of our school community. Thank you! :-)

The staff and pupils from our Health & Wellbeing Committee have been busy organising a brand new Fruit Tuck Shop which will run every Thursday at playtime.

The Committee are working in partnership with Hillhouse Food Co-op and will order and sell fruit on a weekly basis. The type of fruit being sold may vary from week to week depending on what is available and taking into consideration what pupils might enjoy.

This Thursday, the Committee will be selling bananas, oranges and apples for 20p. If you would like your child to buy a piece of fruit for their snack, please send in some change.

Many thanks for your support with this exciting new venture!
