support staff the Summer Event was cancelled) but we also supported the Halloween
disco. We provided the food to the July stsff bingo night in July, a remembrance

supported a trip to Clearwell Caves. At Christmas, we bought selection boxes for the
children, acquired special education pe equipment & a wormery for the outdoor
learning area.
