Parents, Carers, Grandparents. Please can you help?
Our Friends of St John’s group help out with many activities and events in school. Events such as our Christmas and Summer Fairs could not be done without their support! There are a number of events coming soon including Easter Bingo and the Summer Fair. If you can spare any amount of time to help out in anyway, please call in to school and speak to Mrs Hughes.
Also we will be looking for a new treasurer. If you have any experience with basic book keeping and could help please speak to Mrs Hughes.
