Thank You for Harvest Donations

We were delighted to receive the large collection of food and essential items donated by our school community during this year's Harvest Festival.

On behalf of everyone at Hope Food Bank, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the children, families and staff for your generosity and kindness. Your donations will help support local individuals and families facing difficult times and provide much-needed food and practical assistance.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

After School Club Bookings

Bookings are now open for the remainder of Autumn Term.

To help us ensure that staffing and the current amount of food is available for all children attending After School Club, we kindly ask parents and carers to book sessions in advance wherever possible.

Please help us by booking your child's sessions in advance through the usual booking system. This enables us to plan staffing effectively and provide enough food for all children attending.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
