Our PTA have a fantastic raffle this year with many prizes to be won. Some prizes include hampers, rugby tickets, family passes for local attractions and many more. They have been selling tickets at recent community events and would like your support to sell more tickets.  All proceeds will benefit your children as the PTA are fundraising for them.  Each child will bring home a book of raffle tickets today, tickets are £1 each. If you can purchase some, please complete the stubs and return the tickets with the money by Friday 15^th of December. If you are happy to ask family and friends to buy tickets, please do. You are under no obligation to buy any as we know that funds are limited for some especially at this time of year. All we ask is that you return the unsold tickets as well to school by the 15^th of December.

 

Some other dates to note for the new year:

 

 

Thank you for your support at the upcoming events.  If you have any queries about any of this information, please let me know.
