Fundraising concert with Newtown Silver Band
We will be holding a joint concert with Newtown Silver Band
All pupils have been busy practicing singing and playing musical instruments and would like to show you their talents when they perform during the concert.
The concert starts at 3pm and we aim to be finished around 4pm.
Tickets are £10 for the first adult and will be discounted to £5 for subsequent adults with links to school (parents, relatives, etc.)
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.
