Fundraiser Lydia Fenwick, in Mr Rich’s Year 6 class, wanted to help raise some money to help their cousin Laura to climb Kilimanjaro in Aid of Worldwide Cancer Research. Along with her brother Daniel, she sold cakes, organised raffles and games for a full day. They raised a fabulous amount of £293 which went towards Laura's total fundraising amount of £3,000. We are so proud of Lydia and her brother as this is a charity very close to our hearts. What a great achievement Lydia, well done!

Please contact the school office to get her number.
