You may remember that James (now in Year 6) took the lead in making and selling plushies. A group of his friends also helped. He raised an AMAZING £33.50 and kindly wanted to donate it to purchase items for our community larder.

What a very thoughtful act of kindness!

This money will be used to support our mission of providing all children with a breakfast. Look out for our breakfast club events coming soon.

A huge thank you to RWC!

Kindness at Christmas

If your child is registered as Free School Meals, they will be coming home this week with two gifts. One has been kindly donated by St Thomas's Church and the other from @LidlGB Toy donation.

We thank them for their kindness.

What a lovely end we had to the school week on Friday! We made decorations and displayed them on our Christmas tree in St Mary's Church.
Some of our Key Stage Two pupils then performed on stage singing three Christmas songs. Excellent community spirit everyone!
