Friends of Bedonwell Schools
We hold 2 fairs annually, summer and Christmas time. We also hold cake sales, book sales, sweet cone sales and gift sales. We hold discos for all year groups and hold non-uniform days where children wear their own clothes for a £1 donation. We also have Christmas card designs for sale. All of this helps to raise important funds to expand the childrens' learning.
