1. CONNOR IS A COMMUNITY CHAMPION!
Year 6 pupil, Connor, raised an incredible £130 for the Butterfly Hospice Trust in their Cup of Care fundraising event recently. He baked a huge number of cakes with his mum and sold out within a few hours! This wonderful effort was in memory of his nanny, Jean. It shows Connor’s thoughtfulness, kindness, initiative and incredible commitment to supporting others. Well done, Connor!
