PTA Easter Family Fun Night – Thank You

We were delighted to welcome so many people to our PTA Easter Family Fun Night on Thursday 19th March. It was a fun-filled evening of activities, including bingo, a quiz, races, and ‘roll the money’. It was wonderful to see our school community come together and share such a fun evening.
