A big well done, too, to Paige in P3 and Lewis in P5 who won special trophies as top fundraisers.
Fund Raising – Thank You!
A big thanks to all who supported our Fastshot fundraiser at the end of term. Overall, £1300 was raised, which we’ll use to subsidise school outings and other event this year. We’ve also received a thank you certificate from Sport Relief for raising £1100 for them just before the summer holidays. Charity at home and abroad! Well done, all.
