Mother's Day Baking Competition. There will be three winners, who will be gifted a gorgeous Mother's Day hamper! If you would like to bake and enter the competition, please bring your goodies to your class teacher on Friday 20th March, labelled with allergens (PLEASE REMEMBER WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL) and your child's name! All goods will then be sold after school at the Greenbank reception, with all money raised going towards trips and treats for the children in 2026. Homemade bakes will be judged on their design and creativity, so be as imaginative as possible! We can't wait to see the tasty treats you create! Alternatively, if you are not a baker but still want to support our fundraising initiative, we also welcome you to bring in any shop-bought cakes or sweet treats to contribute to the after-school sale on Friday 20th March. Thank you!
