Tea & Cake

We will be having a Meet & Greet session over tea and cake on October 7th at 2pm.

Come along for a cuppa, meet other parents and find out about what we do.

Annual Welcome Meeting

Our Annual Welcome Meeting (yes, it's an AGM but friendlier!) will be held on Thursday October 16th at 7pm.

This is your chance to come and have your say about what the PTA does, how we fundraise, what the money is spent on and generally what you think. If you don't tell us, we will never know!

We'll try to keep the meeting to an hour but if you can't make it and would like to contribute something please just email us.

We are still looking for class reps for some classes, desperately need someone to coordinate the Christmas bazaar and generally would love any assistance big or small. The more people that get invovled the more events we can run and the more we can help out with our children's school.

Hope to see you there!

End of Year Party

The sun shone and the music played at the end of year party last night, a fine farewell to departing teachers Mr Roberts and Mrs Hastings. Following a mass to celebrate their years of hard work and dedication to Our Lady's there was a barbecue, live music and lots of fun for families in the school grounds.

Thanks to everyone who came along and enjoyed the fun!

Crafts galore.

Thank you!

Huge thanks to everyone who helped to organise, sort donations, set up, man stalls and clean up again on the day of the fete! Extra special thanks to Mr Marshall for a day getting soaked in the stocks.Without you all this wonderful summer celebration would never happen.

The fete raised well over £1,000 for the school and this figure will increase once we sell off leftover stock.

Roll Up, Roll Up! It's time for the Summer Fete!


 

Our Lady's School Summer Fete, June 7th 11.30am-3pm

The Summer Fete is just around the corner and it's shaping up to be one of our best year with a vintage theme to help celebrate out 80+ years in the community. There will be lots of vintage cars on display, plenty of retro games and music and we're hoping everyone will come in period dress to be in with a chance to win a prize for the most convincing period costume. We'll have a collection of stalls and games, live music, dancing, martial arts and plenty of exciting fresh food on offer. 

We do need your help to pull it off however! If you can volunteer to man a stall for a couple of hours, can help make food, help early in the morning to set up or in the late afternoon to tidy up, that would be hugely appreciated. We also need donations for our bottle stall, and if you're having a clear out would love any good quality toys, games, CDs, DVDs or books you no longer want for our second-hand stalls.

This is the Friends' biggest event of the year, please help out if you can. All money raised goes right back into the school to fund equipment, projects or trips for our children.
