A big thank you to all those who supported our recent ‘Archie in Africa’ day.  £263 was raised to support the building and resourcing of a children’s operating theatre in Uganda.  Pupils enjoyed taking their teddies to school dressed in the Ugandan flag colours.  As part of their  their global citizenship education a  representative from The Archie Foundation delivered an interesting Assembly all about Ugandan hospitals.  A small plaque with the school name on will be displayed on the operating theatre’s wall.
