BES Christmas Fair Hails Festive Fundraising Success

Year 11 student Mary Harford who helped in Santa’s Grotto

Bridgnorth Endowed invited students, parents and members of the local community to get into the festive spirit at the school’s first ever Christmas fair held on Friday evening.

Hundreds attended and enjoyed ushering in the start of the season in the school’s magnificent Old Hall decked out with plenty of magic and sparkle.

Visitors were able to browse through stalls full of beautiful Christmas gifts, visit Santa in his grotto, enjoy refreshments and get creative with festive crafts.

Top prizes were up for grabs in the raffle and there were a whole host of fun competitions and activities for everyone to take part in throughout the evening.

Children flocked to see two very special guests in the form of Christmas reindeer, Misty and Willow, and got the chance to feed and stroke them as part of the hands-on experience.

The atmosphere was buzzing, against a backdrop of entertainment that featured student and staff solos, the school choir and a flash mob who performed a musical number from the upcoming Bridgnorth Endowed production of Oliver!

Headteacher, Mr Penn, said: “It was great to welcome everyone through our doors for a Christmas celebration to remember and I’d like to thank everyone who came along.”

“Organising the event was a team effort and I can’t thank our wonderful staff, pupils and parents enough for their help and donations. We raised almost £2,000, which will go towards school improvement projects to benefit our students and the wider community.”
