Enjoy an adult only night, with great food, great drink and great company; with a fun quiz hosted by our very own Mr Johns to boot, all whilst raising vital funds for our school.

Book individual tickets or a table via the Shop on the Teachers2Parents app. 🍔🍷🥂🍺🍾🤩

🍷✨ WINE & WISDOM NIGHT – WE NEED YOU! ✨🍷

Thanks to the incredible support, generosity and fundraising efforts from our amazing school families, we are thrilled to say that we now have enough funds for a brand new adventure playground! 🎉 Plans are currently being finalised and we cannot wait to see the children enjoying it.

But we’re not stopping there…
Our next big challenge is replacing the god awful and very unsightly shelters outside school! ☔️🌦️ We want to create a much better all-weather outdoor space for the children to enjoy in rain or shine — and let’s be honest, keeping parents dry at pick-up would be a huge bonus too!

To make this happen, we need your support once again ❤️

So grab your mates, rally the family, sort your neighbours, and book a table for our Wine & Wisdom Night! 🍷🧠

🍾 £54 for a table of 6 (including a bottle of wine per table)

🍷 Or just £9.50 for an individual ticket

Not a quiz master? Absolutely no problem! Come along anyway and enjoy a brilliant evening out with friends while supporting a fantastic cause for the children. And with the amazing team from Divino Lounge providing the bar service, you can relax knowing the drinks will be flowing all night long! 🍹🥂

Every ticket sold helps us get one step closer to transforming our outdoor spaces for the children and school community.
Let’s make this another fantastic community success story together 💛

A huge shout out to all of the fantastic businesses who have supported us with alcohol donations 🍷
