We’re incredibly grateful for our ongoing partnership with The Strawberry Bank in Meriden, who have proudly supported us as their chosen charity since 2022. Over the years, their generosity has shone through in so many ways — from donating raffle prizes and prosecco for our summer fairs, to hosting quiz nights and contributing all proceeds to our cause. They’ve also played a key role in the success of our Spring Balls, held at The Strawberry Bank in March 2023, 2024, and 2025. We’re already excited as preparations begin for our fourth Spring Ball in March 2026!

The Story So Far....
Lockdown very much curtailed our fundraising opportunities during 2020 and 2021, however we were not to be beaten and had to think more creatively! We held raffles, virtual pop-up shops for Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day. We also organised a 'Break the Rules Days', Enterprise Week, a Christmas Fair for the children, and they even got to meet Santa! Luckily, we also received some generous donations from local businesses. Despite that pesky virus, during the school year 2020/2021 we managed to raise nearly £5900! Some of this was used to purchase new technology for school, including interactive televisions for classes and extra ipads.
How much have we raised?
Where's the money going?
During 2024 - 2025 we plan to replace the wall bars and update our gymnastic and PE equipment. These improvements will help us provide safer, more engaging, and inclusive physical activities for all children, supporting their fitness, confidence, and enjoyment of sport.
During 2023 - 2024 we were able to replace the sound system in the school hall. The new microphones and speakers have transformed the space, ensuring that children’s assemblies, performances, and school events sound better than ever. This upgrade has made a real difference to how pupils share their voices and celebrate their achievements with confidence.
During 2022-2023 our fundraising efforts were very much welcomed as we finally managed to replace the school set of iPads. Both the staff and children were delighted as this was long overdue!
During 2021-2022 we updated our outside area, starting with the Early Years area, we purchased some new equipment such as sand and water trays, a climbing frame etc. There have been three large storage sheds purchased too, to keep all the Early Years outdoor equipment in.
For the rest of school, we improved and extend the current trim-trail and made the ground under and around it safer with a rubberised material.
We also purchased a commemorative Platinum Jubilee badge for every child.
