Mrs Leach’s Marathon!

Following the unfortunate need to defer my place in the London Marathon last year due to a late injury, I am delighted to share that I am on track to participate this year, raising funds for the school.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who generously donated last year —your support is truly appreciated. Currently, the total amount raised, both online and offline, stands at £369.72 towards my £500 target.

To help reach this goal, I will be hosting a cake stall and lucky dip after school on Wednesday 23rd April. I hope you will enjoy supporting this event.

All money raised, minus platform fees, will go directly towards funding events and projects at the school.

I will be receiving my bib number shortly, which will allow children to track my progress on the London Marathon app. I would love to receive a virtual cheer along the way—further details and links will follow.

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter holiday!Mrs Leach

Please see the attached information regarding an exciting Christmas Design Project which the children love to take part in, your child will bring home a design sheet today.

Primrose Sale

A huge thank you to Mrs Palmer and Mrs Atolagbe for arranging and running the Primrose stall last week. A massive £150 was raised for the PTA.

We are very grateful for the time and effort the PTA put into fundraising events. Money raised helps the school immensely in many ways, including the rental of the school iPads.
