Weekly Update – 28 April 2025

Pounds for Primaries – This morning we had an impromptu and surprise assembly for our P3-7 MAD Groups.  The children and staff thought the Courier and Evening Telegraph were coming along to find out what we had spent our winnings from last year on… however… there was a big surprise.  We won another cash prize this year! The amount will be revealed in this Friday’s Courier and Evening Telegraph.  Thanks to the Tayport community for supporting us again!
