We continue to be limited on the fund raising events we can host within the school, so our efforts are on spending funds we have already raised and applying for grants.  Purchases are being made by the school for additional play equipment for the children.  We thank Perenco and Asda Bilton for their huge support with this.  I know it is hard for everyone to raise funds, but you can all help us for free if you would just register with EasyFundraising and/or AmazonSmile.  Please use this link or contact the school for additional information.  It really does make a huge difference to us.
Stay safe everyone and hopefully soon we will have events to report that you can all attend.

We are still in a position where we are unable to host public events within the school, our focus therefore is to provide the pupils with some activities which they can enjoy.  We don’t want to ruin any surprises but please be reassured that we will not let the children down.  Our charity has also been successful in obtaining very generous donations towards our breakfast bar scheme (due to roll out any time).  We thank Gassco, Perenco and Asda Bilton so far.  As always, the local community generosity amazes us.  Please continue to support our charity and school, we are working hard in the background to make a difference to the futures of our children.
