Tom celebrates his birthdayOur Caretaker, Mr. Tom Gordon  celebrated his 75th birthday on Wednesday and we held a special assembly for him. He was presented with a huge breakfast hamper full of treats, cards from the children and a cake with a picture of him when he was a Queen’s Guard. He told the children that he had worked at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and many other places as a guard. He was awarded a medal for being the smartest guard.

The school has been presented with a cheque for £2000 by our MP David Heathcoat-Amory. This was for coming  3rd in the Cash for Schools Competition.   Thank you to everyone who collected tokens for us. We’re looking forward to spending the money on library books, book boxes and bean bags.

Brent Knoll School has been chosen as a finalist in a competition to win 'Cash for Schools'. It is being run by the Western Daily Press and we need to collect tokens which are printed daily in the paper for the next two weeks (starts 21 November and ends on 4th December). If you, or anyone you know reads this paper, could you please save the tokens for us!!! They can be taken to school, Brent Knoll post office, posted direct to the competition organisers, or to Central Radio Services, in Burnham High Street.

 

There are big prizes on offer (£8000 first prize, £5000 second prize etc) for the schools that collect the most tokens averaged by the number of pupils on role. We need to spread the word and so please feel free to tell anyone you think may be able to help. There are only 12 finalists and seven of the twelve schools will win some money, so we are in with a real chance of a windfall!

The poster is available to download here.
