Summer Fair
Saturday 22nd June
Plans for the Summer Fair are well underway, and we’re hoping it’ll be better than ever.
Along with the hook-a-duck and splat-the-rat stalwarts, we’re hoping to bring the festival vibes to SPS. And for that, we need YOU. We’re often asked how much time you need to put into volunteering. It’s up to you. We know it can be hard to help out in school hours, but there are so many ways to get involved. Even if you could spare half an hour manning a stall at the fair, it really would be a huge help. Sign up now with the Google form.
We’re having a Summer Fair planning meeting at school on 15th May, 7-8 pm. It’d be great to see you there. Fancy coming along to find out what we’ve got in store? FOSPS funds go towards a number of enhancing activities as the children make their journey through school; from hanging out with Harold the giraffe in the Life Caravan, to the year 6 leavers’ hoodies they get when they move on to pastures new. The children, staff and school groups also get the chance to put in bids for other FOSPS-funded initiatives throughout their years at school. If you’d like to volunteer or find out more, please get in touch: fospspta@gmail.com.

Rainbow Run
Thursday 2nd May
The Rainbow Run was a roaring success! The children (and helpers) had an absolute blast and definitely reached the pot of gold. Your generous donations are still coming in, raising £2,436 on GoFundMe so far and around £200 in cash on the day. Thank you to the whole school community. Together, we smashed our target. The page will be live for the time being, so if you haven’t got round to it/asked all your family for a donation yet, there’s still time – see the QR code on their certificates.
Bag2school Collection
Tuesday 7th May until Thursday 9th May at 9am
Recycle, reuse and turn rags to riches! Last year, this fundraiser notched up around £150 without a penny changing hands. Find out more about the initiative and textiles accepted here. You should all have received a Bags2School bag now. Kindly stuff them full of unwanted clothes, curtains, bedding or any other clean and reusable textiles you can get your hands on (no uniforms please). Every little helps – and the heavier the better. Please drop bags off by the FOSPS labelled shed in the bottom of the playground, from Tuesday 7th May and no later than 9am on Thursday 9th May.
