Every book in the photo will have a sticker inside, advising that it has been donated in loving memory of Ann Jackson who loved to read with the pupils.

We are sure that many , many children will get hours of enjoyment from reading these books.

A 'one off'' raffle opportunity to win a £250 voucher towards a mini break at Eshott Hall, Morpeth (expiry 14th June 2023)

Many of you will know that sadly, Ann Jackson passed away recently.

Ann's husband approached us, as he wanted us to have the above detailed hotel voucher, which had been given to them, as a gift from family, but unfortunately, they never got the opportunity to use it.

All monies raised from the raffle will be split as detailed below:

Two fruit trees purchased and planted in Ann's memory
A donation to the Friendship Group, of which Ann was a key member
To purchase more reading books for the school library.

Ann had a passion for life and especially young people, she spent a significant amount of time in school, helping children to read.

Ann regularly nominated young people for awards, and got great delight in seeing them do well.

Raffle tickets are £2 each (not per strip) and are on sale now, in Eco Supermarket, Coop - Quebec Street and school ( when it re-opens next week).

You can also pay direct into our bank account and we will send you a photograph of your tickets.

The raffle will be drawn on September 30th in school and the winner notified.

Thank you so much to Ann's husband and family for this amazing prize.

Thank you so much to everyone who has attended the Summer Activity sessions, which have ran at school for the last three weeks.

The sessions have been very well attended and the children have had a great time, participating in a range of multi sports, craft activities and having some free play time - all in glorious weather. 🌞

A massive thank you goes to Craig's Coaching team for all of their work and to Bespoke who has provided 94 healthy packed lunches for the sessions.

These activities have all been free and for this to happen, we are extremely grateful to Mid Durham AAP who provided funding through their Fun n Food program.

Our final thanks goes to the children who attended, we hope that you all had a great time and we look forward to seeing you at some future events.

Thanks everyone, enjoy the rest of the summer. 😊

Few photos from yesterday, everyone had a great time and are looking forward to the next session.

A polite reminder...please can you let us know if you no longer need the space

We had a small number of children who didn't turn up, which meant we had packed lunches not needed, but had to be paid for.

We could have offered the spaces to other children.

Looking forward to seeing you all next week for more fun.

🌟Reminder that our first event is Thursday 28th July @ Langley Park Primary School - everyone who submitted a form has their places guaranteed.🌟

If you cannot attend, please can you kindly advise us, as soon as possible, so we can amend the food order and potentially offer the place to someone else.
