Ditch the Dark Day 2020

Details: Category: Sustrans; Published: Friday, 17 January 2020 14:55

Ditch the Dark Day 2020 was a huge success, with the school being truly lit up with all the bright and fluorescent clothing. It was great to see all the bikes, scooter and flickers housed in our bike sheds, showing just how many children got involved in our push for more active travel.

Mr McCambley led a superb assembly looking at the importance of 'being seen,' and also the importance of 'being able to see clearly.' He then went onto teach how important it is to give your life to Christ, the light of the world.

A big thankyou for all your donations, which was totaled at £327. This will be included in the School Eco Council's budget to purchase items for the school throughout the year.

Hockey Girls Successful fundraiser

Details: Category: Hockey; Published: Friday, 17 January 2020 14:42

At the end of Term 1 the hockey girls took part in a Colour Walk Fundraiser and raised an AMAZING total of £765. The girls had a brilliant time completing their 2 mile walk/run/dance dressed in bright clothing and Mrs McElhinney, Mrs Boyce and Mrs Peacocke are all overwhelmed by the support of family and friends in sponsoring the girls.

The idea was brought to the teachers by the hockey girls themselves, as we were badly in need of a new goalie kit. We have raised enough money to purchase a wonderful new goalie kit, bibs, skorts and socks, which will benefit all of the hockey girls during hockey practice and matches.A sincere thank you to the girls themselves for coming up with the great fundraising idea and participating in it and to the family and friends who have supported the girls and hockey in school. Also thank you to Mr Budd who helped to source all of equipment.

We look forward to hockey practice starting back after Half Term
