• MIND - Balloon Race

  Fri 25 Sep 2020

  Thank you so much for supporting today’s ‘Green Day’. It has proved to be a very special day and it was wonderful to see the children and staff dressed in green as they watched the launch of our spectacular balloon race. It was also very fitting that we were able to unveil the special bench in memory of Mrs Pye. She would be very proud of how our community has come together to raise funds for Mind – the mental health charity.
