Search for Parkland FoPS & Parent Council Thank you so much for supporting your school Summer Fair! On Friday 29th June, The Parkland Federation held its annual Summer Fair. The sun shone, lots of people came and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time! Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible - to the parent helpers/year 6 children and all the teachers - thank you for giving up your time and for offering all your support to make this event possible. Thank you to all the businesses that very kindly donated to our raffle S and also, to every single person that came along and supported the event. It is far more than just a money raising event - seeing families enjoy themselves and children smiling is a huge reward. There were so many attractions at the fair including dancing, singing, bouncy castles, tombola s, as well as a variety of stalls, candy floss, a fantastic raffle and a lucky number mountain bike draw. Congratulations to all those lucky raffle winners we hope you all enjoy your prizes! An incredible total of 3,000 was raised and will go towards funding future projects and events.

FoPS 2017/18 School Year I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all members of the FoPS team who, without them, we would not have been able to make this school year the success that it has been. We are so lucky to have so many events going on for all our children to enjoy, and we really do appreciate all the time that FoPS, parents and teachers give up to help make these events happen. We can t do it without you and we are always grateful for your support. Michelle - FoPS Chair
