As you may have seen this week we are moving steadily forwards with our bungalow renovation. Recently new electrics have been installed and at the moment the walls and ceilings are being plastered (huge thanks to Knight & Riddell plasterers). There is still much to do but we hope that we can open up before the end of the school year. The bungalow will provide new group rooms for pupils and a brand new community room. Monkton Park does not have any indoor community spaces and so we hope this will become a space that can be utilised by all. To complete the project, further fundraising will be essential and if you are able to support upcoming FOMPs events (see below) it would be very much appreciated.
FOMPS
We would really love to be able to hold our annual Scarecrow Trail and Monkfest again this year however we need your help.
We are looking for volunteers to form a sub committee of 3 to 5 people to help plan the Scarecrow Trail and Monkfest. These two events raise the most money for the school each year and also give the chance for the school and wider community to come together.
If you are able to help in any way please do get in touch on
