The school needs as much support as we can possibly give them financially and perhaps you wonder how your contribution makes a difference.
We have set a target of £9000 to raise for the school which will be a tough ask but will help fund a number of key items for the pupils of the school which otherwise would not be possible.
Last term we set a target of £8000 and managed to raise a whopping £8569 which was an absolutley fantastic amount to have raised but we think we might be able to do better this year with your support and help.
To track our progress and to let you see how your contribution makes a difference, our live tracker shows the progress each contribution has to this target.
We currently have a few ways to donate or make payment to the Parent Council and Fundraising Committee see below for the options currently available.
