Children in Need
Mon 20 Nov 2023It was great to see so many spotty children last Friday, a worthwhile mufti day was certainly had by all. Year 1 and 2 improved their fitness by taking part in Children in Need exciting ‘Bearpee’ challenge and Reception pupils had great fun doing Bear Jumps with Pudsey!
Along with our spot-tacular Mufti Day, the whole school also wore odd socks, as part of Friendship Week to show that it's okay to be different.
We are delighted to say that the school collected a whopping £244.73 for this charity which will go towards funding valuable and worthy projects. £69.00 of this was raised through our JustGiving page.

Bags2School Event
Fri 10 Nov 2023Dear Parent / Guardian
We are pleased to announce that Queen’s Park Infant Academy has organised a clothes & shoe collection with Bag2School in order to raise funds to complete our outdoor classroom.
Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 2001 it has now paid out over £36 million.
As well as raising vitally needed funds for our school it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However it is a fact that as a nation we still send 350,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.
By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles in the bag provided – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, handbags and soft toys, (please refer to http://uk.bag2school.com/ for full details). In addition to raising much needed funds it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse.
You can use any bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!
Bag2School will be collecting from our school on Friday 24th November. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to the school’s studio on the morning of Wednesday22nd or Thursday 23rd November, and help us have a really good collection.
Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.
Yours faithfully
Mr Waller
