To kick off our fundraising for 2015 we will be holding a Quiz Night on Friday 13 Marchin the School Hall. Please put the date in your diary now! Tickets will cost just £5 per person and will be on sale in late February/March. This event promises to be a lot of fun so please come along with some friends and/or family and have a good time while supporting the school!
Friday Cake Raffle
Please don’t forget the Friday Cake Raffle, which raises hundreds of pounds a year! Raffle tickets are sold every Friday morning before school in the playground. Tickets are just 10p each. The raffle is drawn in Friday worship and the winner takes home a yummy cake to help kick the weekend off! Bring your money this Friday!
