We hope you are all well in these unprecedented times. Please stay safe and follow the current Government guidelines. We are posting lots of information and activities on our Facebook page for you like the ones below. Some to help you now and some to help the PTA raise funds for exciting school projects when we all get back to school.

Having a clear out?

If you are having a clear out, please save clothing, bedding, CD’s, DVD’s and books for a future PTA jumble sale and for other fundraising initiatives like Bags for Schools and Ziffit. An email will be out shortly to tell you when you can drop these off at school safely.

Don't forget those in cartridges

Keep saving your used, branded, ink cartridges and toners and help raise money and eco points 

We are working with a company called ‘Empties Please’. They collect and recycle used ink and toner cartridges the environmentally friendly way and will donate the money raised back to us! 

It’s very simple. All you have to do is save your used ink cartridges (original brand cartridges from HP, Cannon, Lexmark, Samsung accepted) or toner cartridges (original Brother, Dell, HP, Canon, Epson) and an email will be out shortly to tell you when you can drop these off at school. ‘Empties Please’ will collect the bin when it’s full and then donate money raised straight back to our school with a certificate to display in our reception area.

Online shopping?
