From bake sales to summer fairs, we run a range of events that bring our school community closer together whilst raising valuable funds for the school.

When: Friday 14 November
Where: Small and Large Halls
Cost: £3 per child
Join us on Friday 14 November for the school disco! There will be lots of fun to be had courtesy of local legend Disco Dave.
Timings:
3.30pm - 4.15pm - Reception & Y1
4.30pm - 5.15pm - Y2 & Y3
5.30pm - 6.30pm - Y4, Y5 & Y6
Each year group has their own disco slot - this is so that we can fit everyone in the large hall and have enough room for busting some moves.
Alongside the disco there will be a glow station selling low-price glow items, a snack bar selling drinks, crisps and sweets and a bar for the grown-ups.
If we have enough helpers on the day, we'll also hold a small Christmas jumper sale of pre-loved donated items.
Read our FAQs below for more info!
Please sign up to help - the disco can't go ahead unless we have a team of people serving, supervising and signing people in. Your help will make the event run more smoothly for everyone, making sure everyone's aving a good time!
Where is the disco and how do we get in?
The disco will be held in the Large Hall, with the tuck shop situated in the Small Hall. Please use the main school office door to enter the disco - we will tick you off on entry. Anyone who hasn't purchased a ticket in advance can do so on the way in after others have been signed in.
Please book your ticket in advance so we can get everyone in as quickly as possible.
Can I leave my child at the disco?
No, you must ensure your child arrives with a grown-up who will stay at the school for the duration of their disco. One adult could be the designated grown-up for several children - please organise this amongst yourselves.
**Children remain the responsibility of their designated grown-up, if any child is unsupervised, a member of the school leadership team will be informed, parents will be contacted and expected to collect that child immediately**
Can siblings come along?
Yes, of course! There will be a quiet colouring corner for any siblings who don't want to join in the disco, or want to save their energy for their own disco time slot. Each child will only need one ticket.
You do not need to buy a ticket for any pre-school siblings, but they are very welcome to come along and enjoy the fun.
Can my child use their phone at the disco?
We would appreciate it if children didn't bring their phones to the disco (or that phones are left with the child's supervising adult). This is for the safety and well-being of all children.
Can I buy a ticket on the door?
Tickets will be available on the door, but it's quicker for everyone to get in if you buy in advance through ParentPay - then all we'll need to do is tick you off the list and the dancing can start!
Can we wait at school for our disco time slot?
The school grounds will remain open as usual until about 4.30pm. If your child is in Years 4, 5 or 6 you will need to return to school when their disco starts at 5.30pm.
Will there be a non-uniform day at school on the day of the disco?
Yes! Friday 14 November is also Children in Need day, so feel free to wear your home clothes. We'll be shaking buckets at the gates in the morning to raise funds for this important charity. Fancy dress (or just fancy clothes) welcome.
What will be stocked at the tuck shop?
Bags of crisps and sweets, fruit snacks, squash and fizzy pop will all be available to buy. Water will be readily available and will be free. We will also have some glow accessories available to buy.
For the grown ups there will be a bar serving wine and beer.
I'd like to help but I will also be supervising children - how will that work?
Firstly, thank you! We need volunteers to help in the Small Hall, checking people in to the disco and serving on the tuck shop or bar, but also volunteers in the Large Hall, making sure everyone is happy in there and ensuring no-one leaves through the fire exits. These are all activities you can do whilst you are waiting for your child's disco to finish :-)
We're all in the same boat - we're all parents with children at the event who want to help out, and we club together to make it work. If your child needs you, of course you should be with your child, one of the other helpers can pick up what you were helping on.
