Saving Club
A number of parent of children in Key stage 2 use our savings scheme to help ease the
payments for the residential visits in each class and it was suggested that a savings club
be set up to run throughout the whole year to help pay for any visits. The amount saved
and the frequency is entirely up to each parent but this will be particularly helpful next
year as one of our residential visits will be at the beginning of the year, not at the end as
now. Some parent have stared this if anyone else is interested please see Mrs Bowker.
