CAFOD Live Simply Award

Stocks Hall Nursing Home 

We visited Stocks Hall Nursing Home to celebrate the platinum Jubilee. A group of representatives from each class sang and chatted with residents and our Mini Vinnies kindly prepared an afternoon tea to share.

Mary`s Meals Fundraiser

Thank you very much for your generous donations as part of our Mary’s Meals fundraiser. With the money raised we have been able to purchase a cooking pot and stove set. Each stove can cook up to 300 meals each school day- that’s a lot of life changing nutrition!

Alder Hey 

The children made joke books to send to the children at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. These joke books were a great way to cheer up other children during their time of need.

Whole School Community Gift Day

Thank you to all for another fantastic response to our Community Gift Day.  You have made some families in our area so happy.
