feteOpen Day and Summer Fete
This years Summer Fete proved to be a fantastic event.
 
Thank you everyone who helped set up in the morning and organised stalls for the fun packed afternoon. The pupils displays were very entertaining and showed the hard work that they and their teachers have put into preparing for our Fete. The many side shows organised by the pupils and parents are always great fun. Thank you for providing the items for the staffs stalls.
 
Special thanks must go to Max, Toby and George P who spent a large part of the afternoon being hit by wet sponges. Also to Mr Vernon who kindly put himself forward for the same treatment!
 
Mrs Johnson and her team provided us all with excellent strawberry teas. My thanks go to her and her family for their help.
 
I hope everyone enjoyed the opportunity to look around the school and view their children's achievements from the year. The classrooms were looking particularly attractive. 
 
An amazing £1298.71 was raised which will allow us to purchase new mats for the gym and some extra steps and bridging boards for our stage.
 
You can look at some photos of the afternoon on the Summer Fete gallery page of the website.
 
Thank You everyone who came to the fete and supported the school.

Races begin at 1:30pm. Some pre-day events take place in school during the weeks leading up to Sports Day and these are taken into account when the points are tallied. Trophies are awarded to age group winners and the winning house at Speech Day.

A lot depends on the weather but we hope this can go ahead as planned.
