Parents’ Association events have raised almost £12,500 for charity this year. This term’s Fun Day raised £1300 for the Street Child World Cup charity. The Fun Day was in its second year, incorporating the well-loved Fun Run and was designed for all ages to have an action-packed afternoon of sport and play with ŷ������’s families, friends and staff.

The weather this year could not have been more perfect, adding to the carnival atmosphere. There was once again a spectacular cake stall, which included a bake-off judged by the new teashop in Cambridge, Afternoon Tease. The day was very much parent-driven, as many volunteers provided the manpower needed to run the games, bouncy castles, sumo wrestling, Welly-Wanging and other stalls that made for, what several people described as, a truly proper, old-fashioned British fete. One of the many highlights was the ‘Even More Fun Run’, a short race where children and parents really did crawl or do other extremely silly behaviours to get them around the track. The cake stall was unsurprisingly a real hit and exhibited some truly impressive baking by parents and children alike, while the warm sunshine ensured the ice-cream stall had a permanent queue.

One happy Fun Day supporter said, “I loved soaking my friends in the stocks and bouncing on all the inflatables.” PA Chairperson, Mr Hughes commented, “It was a fantastic day, with amazing sunshine. The runners did brilliantly in the heat and everyone enjoyed the stalls and activities. Raising a good sum of money for Street Child World Cup was the icing on the cake.”
