Friday 13th: End Polio Now day

We are holding a ‘wear purple for polio’ day on Friday 13th October.  We will come round classes collecting donations which will be donated to the End Polio Now cause.

In addition we are also selling raffle tickets for a pupil and staff raffle which will finally be drawn on Friday break time.
