Help Fund Amelia
Amelia is a 9 year old girl who has been
diagnosed with a cancerous tumour. This
tumour has caused her to lose sight in one
eye completely. She is undergoing
chemotherapy and has just found out she
qualifies for proton beam therapy which
isn't available in the UK. The NHS will
fund the treatment and travel but as it is
a three month process we are raising
money for the families living expenses
whilst going through this difficult
time.....any donations no matter how big or
small will be much appreciated.
Parents, friends and neighbours
can donate on Amelias Just
Giving Page.
Please visit
www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding
/HelpFundAmelia to make a
donation. The aim is to raise
12,000 in total. 11,845 has
been raised so far. Thank you.
New Lunch Menu
Menus were sent home with
children before Easter and will be
in operation from Tuesday 18th
April. Please contact the school
office if you would like your child
to have school lunches.
