Christmas Fayre 
Friday 5th December 2014
Once again, an enormous thank you to all school staff, PTA members and helpers who worked tremendously hard in preparing and running the Christmas Fayre. The event was an enormous success and welcomed a new guest (as well as the man in red!), George the Bear, the new school and PTA mascot! Many families had a fabulous time at the fayre meeting Santa and George, treating themselves to mulled wine and festive food, trying their luck at the raffle and tombolas and visiting the stalls. Nails and faces were painted and cuddly toys won with the event raising a massive £1600!! Many thanks to everyone who attended and made the event a such a success.

Christmas Fair

A bumper crowd of parents, grandparents, pupils, brothers, sisters and local residents turned out to start their festive celebrations at the Christmas Fair at George Fentham Endowed School. Families enjoyed many attractions during the event and many cakes, pocket money toys, crafts and games were enjoyed whilst Santa was kept extremely busy meeting children in his grotto. Festive food went down well for tea and children prepared secret presents for mums and dads.

The event was fabulously successful and raised a staggering £3,200 which is a fabulous achievement for the army of PTA volunteers, parent helpers, teachers and pupils who worked tirelessly on stalls and preparing for the event. An enormous thank you must go to everyone who was involved, however large or small the role in this excessively successful and enjoyable fund-raiser.
