This is part of Amazons charitable giving activity where it donates a 0.5% of each eligible purchase made to the buyers selected charity, this being our school. The donation is at no extra cost to yourselves so this is a wonderful opportunity to help boost our school funds.

A simple way for everyone to raise funds!

We have set up an easy way for you to support fundraising for the school, which involves shopping!!!

So far Easyfundraising has generated over £826.16 for the school.

There are over 2700 retailers registered with easyfundraising, including Amazon, eBay, Next, John Lewis, Sports direct, Ticketmaster, Travelodge, Argos and BT, who will donate on average 1.5% of your total spend directly to our school. You can even raise funds when you arrange car insurance, book a day out at Legoland, a spa or the theatre, or when planning your next holiday, including airport parking, train travel and hotels. 

Please spare just five minutes of your time and sign up now!!

It's really simple, and doesn't cost you anything.

Second Hand School Uniform Sales

We have a great range of donated school uniform which you can easily help yourself to.  It's located in the cupboard just inside the school foyer. Great for when you need a jumper at short notice, because all their others have vanished!!

Please give a small donation into the school office for anything you take.
