• Mencap Fundraising

  Fri 07 Apr 2017

  On Friday 7th April the School Council held a non-uniform day to raise money for the Market Drayton Mecap Society. The charity provides a wide range of social activities for adults with learning difficulties, their carers and families.

   

  One of our long serving-reading volunteers spends a considerable amount of time at the Market Drayton Centre and the children decided they wanted to repay his kindness by fund raising for them.

   

  The children wore their own clothes and donated £1 towards the charity. Thank you very much to the children and their families for supporting the Market Drayton Mencap Society as they managed to raise £336, which will be presented to Mencap after the Easter holidays.

• The Great Market Drayton Junior School Bake Off

  Sun 02 Apr 2017

  Our in-school tribute to the Great British Bake-Off competition has become somewhat of a tradition over the last few years, after proving a popular addition to our calendar of events. This year’s ‘Bake-Off’ was held earlier this week and was, once again, tremendously supported with almost 70 entries submitted. The money raised from the entry fees will go towards improving our in-school cookery resources and facilities.

   

  The competition was split between Lower School and Upper School, with various categories of entry including Cupcakes, Sponge Cake and Biscuits. On a similar theme to the popular TV show, entrants could also submit a ‘showstopper’ creation which was to have a seasonal Easter theme.

   

  All entries were then sold off in a cake sale on Wednesday, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

   

  A big congratulations to all of our winners who were as follows:

   

  Upper School Showstopper - Morgan 6IR

  Lower School Showstopper - Jack 3RG

  Upper School Sponge - Jessica 6IR

  Lower School Sponge - Seth 3RG

  Upper School Cupcakes - Sophie 6IR

  Lower School Cupcakes - Aoife 4LH

  Lower School Biscuits - Owen 3ESH
