An enterprising pupil in Year 5 has organised a raffle to raise money for Children in Need. May will be selling tickets in St Margaret’s House mornings and afternoons and tickets cost 50p each or 3 for £1.
The prizes would make ideal Christmas presents – a hallmarked sterling silver hand-made ladies engraved bangle and stylish gentleman’s cufflinks made in May’s daddy’s workshop in the Jewellery Quarter.
The draw will be on Friday 18 November – Children in Need day.
Well done, May!

What does the word ‘hero’ mean to you? What kinds of things do heroes do? How do we recognise heroes? Do you need to be physically strong to be a hero? Who is a hero to you? These were questions posed to Year 4 at the end of the Lent Term in preparation for the…
Last week our Year 6 took to the stage and were delighted to be able to perform in front of an audience once more.
