WOW! So many bags yesterday for our Cash for Clobber Collection.. the silver shed was full! THANK YOU to everyone who donated bags of unwanted textiles, raising £120!! Fantastic!

We really appreciate your continued support for this scheme - recycling and fund-raising for our school and helping us work to maintain our Eco Schools Green Flag Award.

Please continue to save your unwanted textiles for us. Our next collection will be on Wednesday 12th January 2022.

Many thanks for your continued support.

It's almost time for the PTA Christmas Raffle!

Tickets cost £5 each and are available from THE SHOP on SchoolMoney.

Prize list to follow.

Time for a pre-Christmas clear-out of old and unwanted textiles? Our final Cash for Clobber Collection before Christmas is on Wednesday, 8th December. 

Arrangements are a little different this year and we would ask that bags of clean, unwanted textiles are brought to school on Wednesday at drop off time and passed ‘over the wall’ to staff for storage in our Car Park until collection time. Please observe social distancing guidelines.

What can you put in the bag??

• All types of clothing (even with holes/tears/missing buttons etc!)
• Bags and shoes (please tie shoes together with laces)
• Hats and belts
• Towels and curtains
• Bed linen (sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers)

** Remember NO QUILTS or PILLOWS and all items must be clean.**

Many thanks for your continued support.
