Recent purchasesWe are grateful for The Manor House Hotel who donated £1500 to enable us to purchase a covered seating area, 4 pencil dustbins and two games boards for the playground. Thank you also to FOSTPS who have funded a second covered seating area. We have had lovely new blinds fitted in Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 and we have been able to purchase two interactive whiteboards and 4 projectors to increase our ability for ICT teaching, partly due to a grant from Okehampton College as part of their Science/ICT links with the feeder primary schools. |

Car ParkingWe have had a kind offer from Jenny & Keith Gregory who are the new managers at The Kings Arms in South Zeal. They are happy for any parents to make use of their car park to the rear of the pub at the beginning and end of the school day to help ease the congestion in the village. Please make use of this offer and remember that the car park at the Recreation Ground has plenty of spaces with a footpath across to the main street available now. |

FOSTPS 100 ClubThank you to everyone who has sent in their renewal forms - it is not too late to join as it has not started yet, so please send in £12 for the full year - only £1 a month with the opportunity of winning good money prizes while supporting your local school. The club will run from the end of April if enough people have joined (or May if the uptake is slow). |
