FOSS UPDATE
Thank you to Jo, Nora, Hanna and the St Margaret's Fair volunteers!
This week we received the fantastic news that the St Margaret's Fair Committee have been able to donate £2k to FOSS from the fair this year!
For those of you who don’t know, the St. Margaret's Fair is only made possible through a huge community effort by volunteers. This event raises money for local schools, charities and a particularly popular and much anticipated, Christmas Dinner for 70 older residents in our area!
Jo from FOSS worked incredibly hard to get the St Stephen's crew organised, as well as being an active part of the wider committee who run this fantastic event – thank you Jo!!

Cake sales start again on Friday 20th September with Mandela class!!
As a reminder - in order to keep our whole school community safe we always ask that homemade or shop bought cakes or savoury products do not contain nuts, coconut, sesame, red & bell peppers (plus their derivatives - paprika, cayenne, chilli). Many shop bought cakes will say 'may contain nuts' and, given people bake in their homes, we can never guarantee the sale is completely 'nut free,' as traces may exist. Any cake bought at the sale is under parental supervision, not school supervision.
Parents who give their children money to visit the sale are accepting parental responsibility (especially for Yr5 and Yr6 children whose parents may not be present at pick up).
Children going to Stars on a Friday afternoon do not visit the cake sale, instead a cake is provided directly by Stars to children who would like to visit.
Thank you in advance to everyone over this school year that will bake, buy and help make our cake sales successful and safe.
Donated cakes and treats can now be dropped on the playground side of the school office in the mornings. Please place them in the tubs labelled 'cake sale' by the office doors.
Many thanks
The Cake Sale Team
