FOSM are also planning the return of our much-loved ‘Breakfast with Santa’ – Saturday morning fun for children and adults with bacon sandwiches, hot drinks and of course a visit from the man in red himself. The team will also be organising for your children to make Homemade Christmas Cards. The run up to Christmas is always a busy time for FOSM; if you can give time or expertise to help them make this special time even more special for our children, please message your Class Rep.

Please bring cash as our wonderful friends group will be selling teas and coffees, scones, cakes, ice lollies etc.
Children will have the opportunity to perform their songs and we will all sing the National Anthem.

The children can come to school this day dressed in their splendour as a royal, their party clothes or something red, white or blue.

It promises to be the culmination of  a wonderful week and I thank all our staff and volunteers in advance for the hard work they’re putting in to help create treasured memories for your children.

Calling All Volunteers…

I’m sure that you will agree that the new windows and doors have given the building a face lift and now we want the outdoor area to have the same. Can you help with painting fences? Declutter St Mary’s Secret Garden, restore some of our raised beds ready for the children to plant? Do you have an hour to spare one Saturday?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions then please get in touch!
