UNICEF

Clarks' Shoe Share

A lovely thank you certificate for our amazing donation of 137 pairs of shoes to Clarks' Shoe Share scheme. 

 

Soccer Aid Playground Challenge

On Friday 14th June the whole school from Nursery to Year 6 took part in the playground challenge. We raised money for UNICEF to help support children's right to play. Each class took part in a football obstacle course. 

In total, the money raised from our playground challenge was £1194.61. A huge thank you to everybody who took part and sponsored the children. The UK government also matched each pound donated so this is a huge achievement. 

UNICEF and Soccer Aid sent us a fantastic well done letter and gifted footballs for all the money we raised.
