A very warm welcome to our 2019 School Auction. This will be the governor’s main fund raising event of the year, full of anticipation, fun and laughter. A huge thank you to all who have contributed, we have an extensive array of exclusive items, pledges, services and experiences all up for grabs to the highest bidder, as well as some cheeky giveaways!
This year the target for our auction is an enormous £7,000 and the money will go towards the cost of refurbishing the year 6 classrooms which are in desperate need of repair . This is an ambitious target and so your generosity will be greatly appreciated. We ask that you dig deep into your pockets and be generous in your support of our target - the money you raise really will make an enormous difference.
​
And don’t worry if you can’t dig deep, there are some smaller items up for grabs, or you could team up with friends and buy together – or you could just come along, enjoy a drink with friends and watch everyone else spend too much! We also have some giveaway prizes that will be given out during the evening, so just by turning up and paying £1 for entry you could walk away with a great prize!
​
