PTFA Fundraising On Friday 28th October we held a toffee apple tuck shop to raise funds for the children of our school. The children and staff enjoyed the fantastic confectioneries the PTFA made and we raised £125. Next week’s fundraising PTFA are holding a tuck shop on parents’ evening and on Wednesday 16th November - they are asking for donations of sweets, chocolate, full (sealed) bottles of drink or toiletries etc. Each child who brings in a donation will be put in to a class draw to win an advent calendar. Thank you for your support and Good Luck in the draw.
