The PTA would love a few volunteers to help refresh our Forest School area. The paths need a little care, and a local tree surgeon has kindly delivered woodchip for us to spread.

If you can join us, please bring a shovel, gloves, and a wheelbarrow if you have one.

If you have any questions, or are able to help, please email friendsofmyddlepta@gmail.com

Thank you – it’ll make a real difference for the children!
