Summer Fair - 5/7/254 Despite the rain, our school summer fair was a resounding success, demonstrating the incredible spirit and resilience of our school community. The weather might have been dreary, but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun! The fair was bustling with activity, and many who attended walked away with fantastic prizes, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day. From games and raffles to burgers and ice creams, there was something for everyone. The joy on the children's faces as they engaged in various activities was truly heartwarming. A highlight of the day was the talent show, which featured performances from our talented students. From singing to dancing, tennis and jokes, the acts were a wonderful showcase of the creativity and skill within our school. This event would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our volunteers. From organising ahead of the day, setting up, managing stalls and ensuring everything ran smoothly, their dedication was invaluable. A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to make the afternoon special. Looking ahead, we have a host of exciting events planned for the next academic year. Get ready for a movie night and our usual and highly anticipated school disco, both promising to be fantastic evenings of entertainment. And, of course, we can’t wait for our traditional Christmas Fair, which is sure to be filled with festive cheer and community spirit. As we wrap up another successful year, we wish everyone a fun-filled summer. Enjoy the break, make wonderful memories, and we look forward to seeing you all in the autumn for more exciting adventures. Your PSA

Dear Creeting School Families,
Exciting news!
As the summer term brings summer sun at last, our PSA are starting to make plans for our annual Summer Fayre. It will be held after school on Friday 5th July so be sure to save the date and start saving your pennies!
On a more formal note, you may have read from recent PSA meeting minutes that there has been a re-shuffle within our PSA committee group and we would like to take this opportunity to thank previous members for their hard work and dedication in organising events and fundraising so successfully for our children. Whilst all still a part of Creeting School, we hope that they are able to stay involved in the activities we have planned and to share their invaluable knowledge and experience.
So, the PSA is now arranged as follows:
Co-Chairs – Nicci Johnson & Hayley Wright
Vice Chair – Jodie Barrett
Secretary – Louise Brydon
Treasurer – Katerina Budinova
School representative – Christine Friar
In case you didn’t know, we have a noticeboard beside the main school entrance which will be getting a facelift shortly. All information you need to know about our fundraising efforts and events will be displayed here so please take a look and get in touch if you’d like to be involved!
We have a new PSA email account psa.creetingcreetingstmary@gmail.com so be sure to contact us if you want to have your say.
And lastly, do you follow our socials? We are on Facebook and Instagram with information and reminders of upcoming events as well as helpful links to support you and your kids along the way.
Please follow and ‘like’ to join the ride!
Warm regards,
Your PSA

Summer Fayre - June 18th 2022
What a fantastic day we had!
Our first Summer Fayre for 3 years, and it was such a great turn out. We started, and ended, the afternoon with some rain, but that didn't seem to stop anyone from enjoying themselves.
We had a bouncy castle, classic fayre games, some local small business stalls and an hour long talent show! We showcased some incredible acts, from singing to gymnastics, ventriloquism to comedy, and magic to karate! The winner, by a unanimous vote, was Isaac in Year 1 with his jokes, perfectly delivered! Well done Isaac.
Thank you to all who entered, we're looking at planning something bigger soon!
Many thanks go to everyone who turned up and spent their money, helping us raise funds for this lovely school. Especially to the PSA team and the volunteers without who this event would literally not have happened!
Christmas is just around the corner, and the planning starts now....!

We are hoping to hold a Mini Spring Market towards the end of March, where we have various stalls in the playground, including some games, the Easter Raffle, and some stalls run by our very own pupils!
We're also hoping to hold a school disco, in the middle of May, to celebrate the end of SATS week. More details coming soon...hopefully!
As always, upcoming details and dates can be found in the school calendar.
Thank you so much to everyone who bought tickets for our Easter Raffle - we raised £510! This will go towards the Outside Learning facility, which is well on the way to becoming a reality now! It will be a wonderful addition to our amazing little School.
