The current committee are standing down at the end of the school year, with a new committee taking over from September.
For the first time we held a Fireworks night, and this was extremely successful and well attended. Fireworks were purchased from a ParentKind supplier and three dads set them off. Food, drinks and light toys were sold. The event raised £1800.
A parents night out was organised in Ledbury which raised just under £100.
The Christmas Fair was back after three years and was a huge success raising £2,500. We also had donations from two local businesses - a Christmas Tree farm (a percentage of sales) and Rosie Glow Beauty.
We held a school disco, and the DJ was free (as there was a problem at the last disco), so this was another great fundraiser, raising just over £500.
For Easter an Egg Hunt in school was organised which was a lovely event and all of the children thoroughly enjoyed it (despite the rain!).
A Quiz Night was held in Spring Term, this was well supported and raised just over £700.
The Summer Fair raised £2,600. The Lottery generated £725 and non-uniform sales generated £45.
The total amount raised this year was £9752 which we are extremely proud of.
