🎄 So, the weather didn’t play havoc with our 2024 Christmas Fair and I think it’s fair to say it was a really lovely day with a wide selection of things to do, buy, eat and drink!

🎄 Huge thanks to all those who contributed in anyway be that time, donations or braving the rain and... coming along on the day to support us.

🎄 The reconciliation of costs, takings and subsequent monies raised will happen this week to be reviewed and signed off by the school and the DFSC so look out for the announcement for how much was raised for our young people.

🎄 Fingers crossed we will meet our target of £1000 and the next steps will be agreeing on what the funds raised will be spent on with input from the students, staff and families.

🎄 Many thanks again to everyone!

🎄 Our Christmas Fair is ON Tomorrow 🎄

We are really looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow to kick off the festive season in style!

Most of the activities and stalls are either inside or under cover so there's lots to see, eat, buy and do.

Dig out your ...Christmas Jumpers and Santa Hats and come and have some fun from 10am through to 3pm.

Happy International Men’s Day!

Today, we honour the incredible contributions of our male staff at school— Teachers, LSAs, Maintenance Team, Senior Leaders, and Drivers. Your dedication and support make a meaningful difference in our community. Thank you for inspiring our students and ...colleagues alike. Here’s to you! 🎉

🎄Get Ready for Our Christmas Fair! 🎄

The festive season is nearly upon us, and we’re gearing up for our Christmas Fair! We’re thrilled to invite you to join us in making this a smashing success for our young ones.

Now, if you’re feeling generous (or just want to avoid ...storing that extra pack of mince pies!), here’s how you can help:

🎁 Tombola and Raffle Prizes – Got a bottle of something festive, or perhaps a sneaky chocolate stash? Prizes for both kids and adults can be sent in now, so please feel free to drop them off!

🧁 Cakes and Savouries – Calling all bakers! Please send in your finest creations on Friday, 22nd November. Remember, we’re a nut-free school, so keep those peanuts out of your pans!

How to Donate: Simply send donations in with your child or drop them off at reception. Pop everything in a carrier bag or cake box, labelled FAO Leah Roberts.

The DFSC has set its sights on a target of £1000! After our fabulous Summer Fair raised a whopping £819.24, we’re confident we can hit this new goal – but only with your help.

So dust off those aprons, wrap up those raffle prizes, and let’s make this a fair to remember! Every penny raised will directly benefit our children and young people.

Thank you for your continued support and community spirit – we couldn’t do it without you!

Warmest wishes,

Neil Gage
Head Teacher
