With school budgets getting tighter by the year, we are constantly looking at ways that we could help to fundraise in order to continue to provide the offer to your children that makes the curriculum at our school so special.

With this in mind, Mrs Chidzey and a team of Brook Acre staff have been putting on their running shoes after a busy day at school and are all set to walk, jog or run 250km during the month of October.

All money raised will go directly into school fund to support heavily subsidised school contributions that reduce the cost of trips to parents and towards paying for coaches and equipment in order to enable us to offer after school clubs for just £3 per child, per half term.

We will update the page regularly as the team chip away towards the 250 km target over the next 4 weeks, detailing distance covered from different team members taking part.

Good luck team - and thank you for going the extra mile (quite literally) for our children!

Miss Holmes
