Summer Fair
Our annual PSA Summer Fair is just around the corner! This year’s event is on Saturday 4th June from 12pm-2.30pm. Follow the link below to see the flyer leaflet for this year’s event.
The Summer Fair is always a very successful fund raising event, but wouldn’t be possible without the fantastic support of our amazing volunteers. We are still looking for volunteers to support this year’s event, so please contact the PSA if you can help in any way!
School Lottery
If you haven’t yet joined our school lottery, but have been thinking about it, now’s the time! There’s an iPad up for grabs, with all new supporters being entered in to the draw to be in with a chance of winning.
To date our 36 supporters have raised £390.40 for PSA funds, and by the end of the year that figure is a predicted £1,144. All that money will be put towards continuing our cultural fund which has been providing extra curricular activities for all year groups.
