• Bag2School will be collecting from Friends of Chetwynd on Wednesday 8th November 2023

  Tue 07 Nov 2023

  Dear Parent / Guardian,

  We are pleased to announce that Friends of Chetwynd has organised a clothes & shoe collection with Bag2School to raise funds for the school.

  Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 1999 it has now paid out over £48 million.

  As well as raising vitally needed funds for Friends of Chetwynd, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However, it is a fact that as a nation we still send 350,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.

  By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles in the bag provided – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, handbags and soft toys, (please refer to https://bag2school.com for full details). In addition to raising much needed funds it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse.

  If you fill the donation bag and still have more then you can use any other bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!

  Bag2School will be collecting from Friends of Chetwynd on Wednesday 8th November 2023. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to Chetwynd Junior School (drop off is by the tree near the car park inside the gates) and help us have a really good collection.

  Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.

  Yours faithfully

  Friends of Chetwynd

• End of Day Arrangements

  Mon 06 Nov 2023

  We are pleased to inform you that our 'trial' collection of children at the end of the school day was a success during the last week of last half term. Therefore we will continue with the new collection arrangements.

  Please be mindful when leaving the Year 3 and 4 playground that you keep to the left of the footpath, allowing parents/carers who may be running late to gain easy access to the footpath when collecting their children.  If you have younger siblings with you please ensure that they are with you at all times.

  Thank you for your continued support.
