Fete

Many thanks to all of you who contributed to the success of our annual
fete. I am particularly grateful for the purchasing of raffle tickets and
the donations of prizes. However the fete could not run without the hard
working members of our PFA committee and those who help them. As
always it was fantastic to see staff, friends, Governors, students and parents all working
together for the benefit of the young people in the school. Our PE department did an
excellent job with the Primary School’s Sports Festival. This could not have run without
the fantastic work of our Year 10 Sports Leaders. It was a very hot afternoon but many
people were on the stalls for 3 or 4 hours and then stayed to help clear up. What a
fantastic effort! The ladies and gentlemen in the kitchen must have been so hot yet they
were on the go for nearly 3 hours and sold out.
As always the day was marked by a real sense of camaraderie and good humour. From the
sights and shouts of the ‘sumo wrestlers’ to the zumba dancers, the excellence of the jazz
band and assistance with purchasing uniform for present and new students, everybody
contributed to raising the fantastic sum of £4,700 for the benefit of our young people.
Very well done and many, many thanks for all your support. A big thank you to those who
came to support the fete.
