Chair Welcome

A big welcome to our new reception parents and children.

PiP have been busy behind the scenes and have lots of exciting events planned, see what we’re doing this term below in ‘PiP news’ and ‘calendar’ and find out what you can do to help. We hope you all like the site and will find it useful.

We’ve got off to a flying start. Our first cake sale on 30th September raised a record breaking £275.50. Thank-you to all those who brought in cakes and supported the sale. Another ‘spooky cake sale’ is planned for the 21st October, so keep please baking!

We are also very pleased to announce that PiP are purchasing designed t-shirts for our junior and very talented jazz band as well as, school jackets for the infants to wear on trips. Photos soon.

We have lots of plans for this year. We have agreed with school that we will jointly fund raise for a big project and have decided to aim for a lighting rig for the church hall. It’s a big target, but with your continued support and energy we can do it.

Coming soon: A notice board in the playground, which confirms all the important PiP dates and news.

If you want to get involved, or have any other great fundraising ideas then please email me at: pipchairhtss@gmail.com, or find me in the playground.

Thanks Tracey
