In the past we have used the Family Fund payment we ask each family to make to put towards the ‘extras’ that we provide as a school.
This has included a contribution towards the more costly educational visits. Most recently, the Year 1 children are hoping to visit the Tower of London and take part in a special workshop. This works out at £7.50 per child and for some families, we recognise that this is a significant amount of money. For the first time ever, we had said that should not all parents make the contribution, we will have to cancel the trip. This then led to some parents asking if they could make an additional contribution to the school.
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to those who have done this. Your generosity is much appreciated and will make a significant difference for the children of this community.
