Books
are a uniquely
portable magic . . .
This school school year the focus for our fundraising efforts is to provide the children with the magic of books, linking in with the school's current focus on reading.
Our fundraising has already raised over £500 towards new school books for each classroom library, to ensure every student has the opportunity for variety of weekly reading to broadened their horizons and to bring home to share with their families.
We want to encourage the Children to engage with reading, and to create an outreach hub to the winder community.
We are currently working with the school on plans to repurpose the main reception to to create this into a fun, inspiring and welcome place to come, read and find the next adventure and will look to start work on this over the Easter Holidays.
​
Of course, none of this would be possible without everyone's donations, so every disco, bake sale and selfless donation goes a very long way. ​​​
