Charity work

We have been sponsoring a Peruvian child for several years through Action Aid. Guido lives in a village called Atico, which is near the famous "White City" of Arequipa. He is now 16 and will be leaving school this year. We shall then have a new sponsor child to get to know and support. 

We shall be holding various events to raise money for Action Aid, so please look out for details.

Road Crossing Patrol

6 hours per week Grade B

Required to help provide a safe crossing for the children at a key point near school.  Training and equipment provided by County Council.  Please contact Ms Howard for further information.

Recorder groups

There will be some changes to the Beginners' Recorder groups after the holiday, and both Mr Groves and Mrs Turner will be running their groups on Wednesday mornings. There will be no recorders, therefore, on the first Monday back.
