We organise lots of events throughout the school year for all the family, including our sizzling summer fete with boot sale, our explosive fireworks night and festive Christmas fete, complete with a vist from Santa, plus lots of other great fundraising ideas.
All the money raised goes towards making our school a better place.
The current committee members are: Sharon Turner (Chair), Stuart Day (Treasurer), Michelle Chapman (Secretary), Robert Barber, Sam Easton, Andy Mobbs, Donna Langford, Rachel Hughes-Green, Lisa Mitchell, Donna Wales, Kirsty Cooper and Karen Thompson.
