WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We will be holding a DIY and gardening day at school, on Saturday 12th October from 10:00 until 4:00. There are lots of jobs that need doing around the site including painting fences, removing a small tree, replacing worn timbers, etc and we need as many pairs of hands as possible. If you are able to spare a few hours, please sign up at the school office and let us know if there are specific jobs you are willing to do.

Refreshments will be provided during the day.

Thank you in advance for your support.
