Easter Fayre
Thank you once again to all who joined us at the Easter Fayre on Tuesday afternoon. I would like to apologise for not mentioning that GF Landscapesdonated a prize of a gardening session. Thank you to all the people who donated prizes as well as their time to help out at the event. It won’t be long before we’ll be asking for help again – this time for the Summer Fair to be held on Friday 6th July!
Vandalism over Easter Holidays
I am very disappointed to tell you that over the Easter holidays school property has been vandalised. Thank you to the neighbours who reported the incidents to the police. It is now in their hands, but as a result they have agreed to patrol the area more frequently.
