Remembering James Childs – A Legacy of Laughter and Play ❤️

Help us raise £2,000 to create a lasting tribute to a much-loved member of our school community.

This year, our school community experienced the heartbreaking loss of James Childs, a much-loved dad to two wonderful boys who both attend North Featherstone Junior & Infant School.

James was a familiar and valued part of our school family. Whether he was supporting school events, joining us for open mornings or coming along on school trips, he was always happy to get involved and share in the fun.

James was a big kid at heart, and that is exactly how we would like to remember him.

To celebrate James’s life and the joy he brought to our school community, we would love to raise £2,000 to purchase and install a large piece of outdoor play equipment in his memory.

Most importantly, we would like James’s two boys to help choose the equipment, creating something truly special that reflects their dad’s playful spirit.

Our hope is that this will become a place where children can climb, explore, laugh, make friendships and create happy memories for many years to come.

A Year of Fun in Memory of James

In true James spirit, we want our fundraising to be full of fun, laughter and opportunities for our school community to come together.

Throughout the school year, we are hoping to hold some special fundraising events, including:

🎄 Christmas Elf Day – A festive day filled with Christmas cheer, with children and staff invited to dress as elves.

🦸 Superhero Dress-Up Day – A chance for everyone to become a superhero for the day, celebrating the everyday heroes who make a difference in our lives.

We hope these events, alongside the generosity of our families, friends and wider community, will help us reach our £2,000 target.

A Little Something That Will Mean So Much

This is about so much more than a piece of playground equipment.

It’s about remembering a dad, celebrating a life and creating something meaningful for two boys who will be able to see their dad’s memory living on in a place that is such a big part of their childhood.

Every donation, however small, will help us create a lasting tribute to James.

A place for laughter. A place for adventure. A place where memories are made.

Just as James would have wanted.

Thank you for helping us celebrate James’s life and for supporting his boys and our school community.

From all of us at North Featherstone Junior & Infant School ❤️
