PTFA Autumn Fair

What a great day it was on Saturday with lots of lovely stalls and produce. 

The event raised just shy of £2000 which is amazing!

We are so grateful for your support and well done to our PTFA for putting on such a wonderful day. 

 

ATTENTION!   ROADWORKS

We have received information that from  21/11/19 for 2 days Marden Road will be closed from 9.30am to 3.30pm.   All access before these times therefore is via the main Colliers Green Road.               

Although the patching is further up the road (away from the school) through traffic will not be permitted.

The works are also restricted to off peak times (9.30am to 3.30pm) and subsequently should not affect school peak times.

We need you ......!! 

We are holding a School Site and Forest School Tidy Up Day on Saturday 16th November from 9am - 3pm.  We have many maintenance jobs to do to spruce up and maintain our grounds / Forest School and would be very grateful of your assistance.  If you are able to help, please comment on the Facebook post or email me on headteacher@colliers-green.kent.sch.uk  

We will be putting a list of possible jobs together and will advise re tools to bring etc. nearer the time.  We are sure there will be some food and drink around a fire in Forest School and a great CG community atmosphere.  If you have any specific skills please let us know!

Thanks again for your support, we appreciate it.
