Past Events

Festive Fayre
A huge thank you to everybody who made the Festive Fayre a huge success - we raised over £1700, which is a fantastic result.
Special thanks goes to the 12 people who came along to help with the preparation and all the staff/parents/grandparents & older
siblings who gave up their time on Saturday to ensure all the stalls ran smoothly.
A special thank you to Father Christmas, who did a fantastic job.

Book Sale
A big thank you to all the sellers, helpers and people who came to buy new books at our book sale last weekend. We sold over 720 books and purchased 124 books for School (these were chosen by the teachers and will benefit all year groups)

Summer Fayre
On Sat 25th June the rain stayed away (thank goodness!!) and lots of people arrived to enjoy our Summer Fayre—a great day was had by all with, in the region of, £3000 profit for the School —a fantastic result. A big thank you goes to all the parents, children & staff who helped on the day—the fayre couldn't have happened without you.
A massive thank you to Mark Owen and Horseworld who came along—the donkeys were a big hit. Also thank you to all the groups who performed in the arena on the day.

The September Nearly New Sale was yet another outstanding success, mainly thanks to the organisational skills of Mandy Henry, Kathryn Davis and Esther Martin.  However we would not have been able to run this event, or  indeed any of  our major fund raising activities, without the help of all the volunteers who give up their time on the day to assist. 

Festive Fayre – 29th November
An extremely successful event which was once again very well supported by the local community. A special thank you has already gone to our resident “special guest” who had more visitors to his grotto than in any year previously. The stalls and games once again proved very popular and successful as did the log making and craft activities along with a very successful raffle. We were once again very fortunate with the Mufti-day donations – our resident tombola experts – highlighted that this was the largest donation of bottles we had ever received. The introduction of the BBQ was also very well received by visitors to the Fayre and an excellent new idea for this event.
In summary – thank you to everyone who made this event possible and on the back of which we made approximately £2000 – a truly fantastic effort.

School Calendars
A new innovation for this year and one which seems to have gone down really well. Firstly thank you to everyone involved with getting the pictures drawn – no easy feat. Also a big thank you to everyone involved in the preparatory work in preparing the template for printing. A special thanks to KD for liaising with the printers who did a fantastic job in the timeframe we were working to. We sold almost 300 calendars with was an excellent achievement for a first attempt.- we stall have a few left over if anyone would like one.

Christmas Disco – 12th December
Another very popular evening – although perhaps a little dampened by the weather. A new DJ this year, who proved to be extremely energetic and enthusiastic. After the discussion at the last meeting is was great to see the number of people on the look out for bargains on the “selection box front” – we obtained a great deal from Sainsbury’s in the end. Also a big thank you to the hardy BBQ’ers who braved the cold and wet to lay on the refreshments for being to eat on the way home. Thank you to everyone for your help in making this another great night.

Christmas Parties – December
If all the findraising wasn’t enough we rounded off the year with providing and preparing food for the three parties.
Approx 400 children were catered for, with a plate of party food including sandwiches, cakes, crisps and carrots for KS1 and years 3 &4 whilst years 5& 6 opted for Buffet style, each child also received a gift . All 3 parties went smoothly with minimal amounts of waste and positive feed back received from staff on the variety and quality of food.
Thank you to everyone who organised all of the above and the parents who helped with food preparation and serving on the days. Thanks have also been passed on to our top secret Santa.

Auction of Promises  – October
This was what can only be described as a fantastic evening and there are not enough times I can thank everyone for their support. To all the companies and organisations that so kindly donated items, opportunities and services and to all the parents and friends who also contributed a significant number of promises – there would have been no evening without all your support. On the evening a big thank you goes to everyone who helped set up, run the presentation, staffed the bar, cashiering and providing an excellent ploughmans supper and finally to our fantastic and generous host compare for the evening – and a good friend to the school, Gareth Chillcott, who certainly made the night both memorable and successful. As a result the children now have over 1000 new books to help them learn to and enjoy reading

Nearly New Sale – September
Our fourth sale was again blessed with fine weather. As previously we had a sell out in terms of sellers and we had a queue awaiting the doors to open at midday. There was as always a huge variety of quality items and everyone once again had a successful day in terms of both selling and buying. Once again another big thank you to everyone who supported what is a much eagerly awaited event.

Nearly New Sale – April
The bottom car park was full of buggies and garden toys by the time the gates opened at midday. Along with a huge amount of baby/children’s clothes alongside a mountain of games/books and jigsaws provided a veritable cavern of opportunity to purchase quality used items. The match attax cards proved very popular and hopefully enabled most of the hardened collectors to complete their respective collections.

Easter Family Disco – March
This provided another opportunity to boogie the night away. With another chance for families to enjoy the fun and cordial atmosphere an excellent night was had by all and each child was given an easter egg as a parting gift – a big thank you to Asda for their kind donation.
