Alkrington Primary School

Pyjama/Onesie Day

We would like to thank everyone who took part on our fundraising event. A total of £400 was raised for the RSPCA.

Sports for Schools Day

This event will be on Tuesday 3 February. All children will need PE kit on the day.
The children have taken home a covering letter and sponsor form, which will raise funds for sports equipment for school and to support GB heptathlete Jess Taylor, who will join us on the day for the PE activities and for a whole school assembly.

Donations large and small are appreciated, please collect sponsor details before the event and bring in sponsor money by 10 February.
It promises to be an exciting sporty and active day!

DVD Copies of the DVD ordered will be coming soon. Many thanks to Justin Eagleton – father of Daisy - for filming the show and producing the DVDs for us.
