On Thursday 23rd January, staff and children from Newman School welcomed visitors to thank them for all the support in their mini-bus appeal.

Thanks to the generosity of parents, carers, local business, the local press and a bequest from an ex-student we managed to raise over £50,000.

Many young people wrote thank you letters and expressed their thanks on the day.

The event was a testament to the strong community spirit and the power of collective effort, illustrating how, when people come together with a shared goal, incredible things can happen.

The day was filled with heartfelt thanks, joyful laughter, and a sense of pride that resonated throughout the school. It was a perfect example of how unity and kindness can lead to meaningful change, leaving a lasting impact on everyone involved.
