The Great Easter Egg Tombola and Bonnet Competition


We held a fantastic Easter event at Highbury in the school's hall on Tuesday 28th March following the Nursery's open day.
There was an Easter Egg tombola and we called on parents to donate an Easter egg or two for the prizes.
The children entered an Easter bonnet competition where they designed and created a masterpiece at home and brought it in on the day. In support of this there was a dress down day for a £1 donation towards the school funds and a colouring competition.
Thank you to everyone who contributed,it went really well, nearly all the parents and children attended and everyone had a great time. The bonnets made by the children were really amazing; they had all worked so hard.

Ahhh lovely. A nice cup of tea!


FOWHS have provided refreshments for parents and teachers at a few functions including the Whitehill Netball Rally and the Highbury Literacy evening. You may even get a home made cake as well! So keep on supporting your school and join in.

Bags2School


This was our chance to have a good old clear out! All unwanted clothes and shoes were bagged up and sent down to the school to be picked up by Bags2School. The collection date was on the 21st February and a big thank you to all of you who participated as you raised £141 for the schools. Well done!

Welcome


FOWHS meet on a regular basis at informal and easygoing meetings with tea coffee and even sometimes homemade cakes available! Young preschool and nursery children are very welcome and we provide juice and a biscuit and a few toys to play with while the mum’s chat. It is important to us that this group is easygoing and fun. We would like people to become involved and go away with positive experiences of working with us.
