The total amount raised was a fantastic £587.34 This will go towards subsidising trips for our children. There is one unclaimed prize still to collect, Yellow raffle ticket number 349. If you have this ticket then please see Mrs Stobbs.


I have been informed by one of our residents that Silver/Green Ford Fusion car was parked inappropriately outside school. The registration number has been taken and forwarded to the police.
