It was wonderful to see so many CPS pupils take part in a charity initiative in the run up to Christmas, to provide a ‘shoebox’ of Christmas treats for disadvantaged children in orphanages in Romania.

The Reception was buzzing at break time this morning, as children arrived to help carry a total of 93 colourful, Christmas shoeboxes from the front hall to the car that was delivering them to the Rotary Club, who will be sending them on to Romania. 

They were filled with a wide range of goodies, from winter woollies, wrapped sweets and soft toys to games, stationary and torches.
