Following the support we have had from parents/carers in previous years, we shall once again be supporting the Samaritans' Operation Christmas Child appeal.

We understand with the current climate that to buy and fill a shoebox may be difficult for families. If you would like to make a donation towards filling a box, there is a box in the  school foyer to put any donations in. 

Please see for information for shoebox filler ideas.

Shoeboxes will be available to buy at £1 each from the school office if you would like to fill your own, or alternatively purchase a pre-packed shoebox from the website following the link:

www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/pre-packed-shoebox

Shoeboxes and donation box will be available from

Monday 31st October 2022.

Please can all shoeboxes be returned to the school office by Friday 12th November 2022.

Many thanks
