Lifeline activities @ Park Hall
On Wednesday 20th September, Year 6 pupils will be attending a Lifeline activity session at Park Hall, Oswestry. This is arranged and funded by Oswestry Rotary Club for all year 6 pupils from schools in the area. Pupils work in small groups to complete a range of challenges.
They will need a packed lunch/snack/drink and a coat. They will return to school at 4:00pm.
Forden Bike Show
Please support this event, It is our biggest fundraiser. Last year the school received a fantastic £2000 which helped fund activities and resources for all pupils in school.
If you are available to help on the day, even for an hour, please see Mrs Kershaw.
Governor Vacancies
We have two vacancies on our governing body for Community Governors. These can be any member of the community and do not need to have a connection to the school. If you know of someone in Forden who has the skills or experience required to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school, and would like this opportunity to help direct the strategic direction of the school, please contact Mrs Fowler.
