💛 Children in Need 2026 – Challenge Yourself! 💛

This year, Myddle CE Primary School is excited to support BBC Children in Need 2026, and we’re getting ready to join schools across the country for a fun-filled day of fundraising!

This year’s campaign is “Challenge Yourself 2026”, encouraging everyone to take on a challenge inspired by the number 26, all while raising money to make a difference to children and young people across the UK. 🌟

Throughout the week, we’ll be encouraging our Myddle children to embrace the spirit of the campaign, have fun, work together and discover what they can achieve when they challenge themselves!

And who knows… we may even have a very special visitor popping into Myddle! Keep your eyes peeled for Pudsey Bear himself! 🐻💛

🐻 Friday 13th November – Non-Uniform Day!

On Friday 13th November, children are invited to come to school wearing their own clothes, something spotty or their favourite Pudsey-themed clothing and accessories, in return for a small donation to Children in Need.

💛 Why are we fundraising?

BBC Children in Need helps ensure that children and young people across the UK have someone by their side when they need it most.

Money raised helps fund vital projects that:

  • 💛 Support children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.
  • 🌈 Provide safe, welcoming spaces where children feel supported.
  • 🏡 Help families facing poverty or difficult circumstances.
  • ⭐ Give children opportunities to build confidence, develop new skills and enjoy new experiences.

At Myddle, we know that a little kindness can make a big difference, and we’re incredibly proud to play our part in supporting such a wonderful cause.

Thank you, as always, to our fantastic Myddle families for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can help make brighter futures possible for children who need our support. 💛

Young Voices 2027 – Spaces Now Full

All available spaces for Young Voices 2027 have now been filled and we are unfortunately unable to accept any more children at this time.
If you would like your child to be considered should a space become available, we are operating a waiting list. Please contact the school office and your child’s name can be added to the list. If your child has been allocated a space but no longer wishes to attend, please let the school office know as soon as possible.
Children who have successfully secured a place have been sent home with a Young Voices parent/carer information letter. This letter contains important details about how to access your Young Voices Parent Account. This is how you can purchase audience tickets and a concert t-shirt for your child. All orders need to be placed by Saturday 31st October.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Young Voices. We look forward to an exciting and memorable experience for all children taking part!
