Fun Run Update

We have made the decision to move the rescheduled Fun Run date from 20th March, to Friday 13th March.

The reason for this is that the originally rescheduled date clashed with Eid, and we want to ensure that all children have the chance to take part in our active fundraiser this term!

The day will run as originally planned, meaning children will be able to come to school wearing their outfits and costumes. We would like to thank everyone for their generous donations.

The new SuperKind platform has been a huge success, and we have been blown away by the level of support shown. We will keep the donation page for this event open until the rescheduled date, so please do use the link to donate and feel free to share it with family and friends if you haven’t already.

Many thanks for your continued support.

This charity event, planned by the St Matthew’s Charity Committee, will give every child the opportunity to set their own St Matthew’s World Record.

The fun run will take place around the school during the morning. Each child will be able to choose one of 20 pre-determined records to attempt.
