On Thursday 16 December 2021 pupils and staff at Deer Park are invited to take part in our annual Christmas Jumper Day and come to school wearing a Christmas Jumper and at the same time help others less fortunate by a) bringing in a food donation for the Cirencester Foodbank or b) donating money (50p minimum) for Save the Children.

Note: this day relates just to the normal school jumper not whole school uniform.

Any pupils wishing to wear a Christmas jumper to school on Thursday 16 December will be able to donate food items or cash in their home bases from week commencing Monday 7 December. 

Pupils can bring in a cash donation or parents can choose to make a donation via WisePay for Save the Children.

Please check the Cirencester Foodbank website for a list of items they are short of and things they definitely don't need e.g. baked beans! As of 1 December they urgently need tinned fish, long-life sponge pudding, tinned soup, tinned meat pies, long-life juice, instant mash or tinned potatoes, tinned meat, long-life milk, lunchbox snacks or chocolate treats for children, tinned fruit. They have plenty of cereal, pasta, tinned spaghetti, beans and tea bags.

Our annual Christmas Jumper Day is a chance to really bring the festive spirit and colour into school. The jumper does not need to be shop-bought, pupils can upcycle an existing jumper (see Hubbub or Love Your Clothes for example), although obviously not their school jumper! We look forward to seeing this year's range of jumpers.
