The Friends Thank You!

Happy New Year from the Friends of Deer Park

The Friends of Deer Park Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank parents for their support so far this academic year.

"Whether you joined us at the Quiz Evening, signed up to Easyfundraising, bought refreshments at one of our many school events, donated second hand uniform, or dedicated time to help out at one of our events... we thank you!"

The Friends have raised nearly £1,500 for the school in just 4 months and have have been able to provide a range of financial support to various Faculties. For example, a microscope camera for Science, craft resources for Pastoral, a portable gazebo for PE and Growth Mindset resources for all pupils in Year 7 and Year 8.

This coming term will be busy, supporting school events such as the Expressive Arts production of Grease the musical (Wednesday 26 to Saturday 29 February), parents' evenings, second hand uniform sales and primary school sporting events. We are always looking for volunteers, so if you can spare an hour to help us (no other commitment is necessary), please check out our events calendar below or email us.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday 14th January 2020, in the school library at 6.30pm. Come along and find out what exciting things we have planned for the New Year!
