Easter egg Appeal

We were amazed by the response from all of our parents and carers, and collected almost 100 gifts. We visited the hospital play centre, at Bristol Children’s hospital. All staff really appreciated the gifts which staff at the play centre distributed to the children staying at Bristol Children’s Hospital on Easter Sunday.

Thank you all for your support!
