Make a difference

As part of our commitment to keep making a difference; Mr Porter, Mr Gilbert and Mrs Claridge are taking  on a challenge for 'Clean Air Day'. On Monday 5th October, we will be walking the nearly 20 miles from Mrs Claridge's house in Virginia Water to the school - aiming to arrive for the start of the school day. On Thursday 8th October we will be asking as many children as possible to walk to school - wherever this is possible. We are also aiming to raise money for new books for the school and would welcome any donations. Please use the school's bank details below if you would like to make a donation. We are aiming to raise £500 for new books across the school. If you would like to donate, please make a payment to the school's account and use the payment reference 'books'.
