Our fundraising events this year have included a Christmas Wreath Making Workshop, the Top Banana Band Movie Theme night and a Gin-Tasting Evening[!], as well as Seasonal Raffles and termly cake or ice-pop stalls. We have been able to fund a visit from the National Space Centre Star Dome for the whole school, buy playground equipment to enhance playtime and contribute to the cost of repairs in the School Orchard, which is enjoyed so much by the children. A Plus Accountants Ltd A Plus Accountants Ltd was founded in 2002 and our practice has grown mainly through recommendation and word of mouth. We take a friendly and personal approach and, being a smaller practice, our clients find that they get to know the individuals they deal with. They benefit from the breadth and depth of the knowledge of our whole team, but only pay for what they need, when they need it. At the Fun Day, today, you can find us at the Summer Toy Stall and Tombola. Our fundraising over the next year is focused on developing an Outdoor Classroom Area. We will keep you updated on our progress! Thank you for all the support from parents, staff and the wider Community. Have a great Gretton Fun Day and a relaxing Summer!
