We are having a live auction and silent auctions at our charity ball in June. We have some prizes already but we are looking for some more. Some are a bigger ask than others but whatever anyone could either donate or ask someone that could donate would be great. We are having hampers and would like to source some items for them so no matter how small it is any donation can help as we will pool items together.

Our charity number is 1201705 if you need it and we can also provide a letter on an official letterhead if you should need it. Message us or email friendsofpioneer@outlook.com if you can help with anything no matter how small. X x or send any items into reception at school. X

Good morning. And what a lovely spring like morning it is. So thought it would be the perfect time to show what the sensory garden currently looks like.

The area is by the back of the school. Presently it's mainly the younger children that use the area as it backs off their classrooms.

As you can see it is a large space so refurbishment isnt going to be cheap which is why we are holding the charity ball to rise funds for the refurbishment.

The pupils need to be able to access outdoor space due to anxiety/over stimulation/accessible to nature/outdoor learning.

We want the space to be used by all the school pupils. The space needs

Better surfacing for wheelchair users
More musical instruments
Swings or other motion sensory apparatus
Non toxic plants
A high fence or something that prevents things from the blue classrooms from being thrown over.

It's such a lovely space and would love for the pupils to be able to use it everyday.

Details for the charity ball can be seen here
