Charity / Fundraising
West Cheshire Foodbank – Thank you to everyone that donated food towards our Harvest Collection for Foodbank this year. Your donations were collected by West Cheshire Foodbank Ellesmere Port, and will be of great support to someone in need at this time.
Children In Need – Friday, 17th November 2023 was BBC Children in Need Day. As a school we talked to our children about the huge difference that supporting Children In Need makes to local projects such as Claire House Childrens Hospice and Cheshire Deaf Society to name but a few. Miss Hughes got all our children energised with the Pudsey Bearpees Challenge as our children collectively achieved 1000 Pudsey Bearpees (otherwise known as Burpees). Children joined in the fun by wearing bright colours like Pudsey.
The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal – We are delighted to share that we raised a wonderful £336.42 for The Poppy Appeal this year. Huge thanks to everyone for supporting this wonderful charity.
Claire House – We continue to support Claire House with charitable activities each year, and are looking forward to our next event in March 2024..
Macmillan Coffee Morning – total amount raised – a huge £1422 for Macmillan Cancer Support!! This is an absolutely fantastic amount of money, and we are so grateful for your wonderful support. Heartfelt thanks to everyone, you are amazing!
Dogs Trust Education Workshops – All children participated in Dogs Trust Class Education Workshops where a representative from Dogs Trust spoke to children about animal senses and how to approach a dog safely. The free workshops contributed towards Dogs Trust’s aim of encouraging and motivating children to behave safely around dogs, to consider the needs of the dogs they currently live with, and to be responsible dog owners in the future. The children thoroughly enjoyed the sessions.
