The tea towels have arrived!

The Hope House tea towels, featuring pictures of pupils and staff, have now arrived and can be purchased from the school office. They cost £6 and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, but once the original batch have been sold, we can re-order if demand is high.

Please fill in the reply slips on the letter which was sent out on Friday or call in at the school office. If paying by cheque, cheques should be made payable to 'Friends of Hope House School'.

Bake 'n' Take feasting...

Thanks to all who supported the Bake 'n' Take today, which raised almost £100 towards the playground project!

Bake 'n' Take coming!

Don't forget the Bake 'n' Take on Monday 7th April at 3 p.m., our final event of the spring term. Please bring in all home baking on Monday morning and don't forget to send pupils with some money to buy produce at the end of the day!

Pamper Evening update

Last night's Pamper Evening was a great success, raising £308.10 for the school. Many thanks to all who contributed in any way!

Em's Gems had lovely hand-made jewellery for sale.

EmiB Designs had bags and hand-made craft items for sale:

Rachel was selling Party Lite candles:

MeTimeMassageTherapies also sold beauty products, as did the Body Shop:

Former pupil Amber Roberts (Amber Rose Beauty) worked hard painting nails all evening:

FHHS members looked after checking in and refreshments:

All in all, we had a great evening!

Coming soon... April events!

On Tuesday 1st April at 7 p.m. we will be hosting our first 'Pamper Evening.' Tickets have been selling well, but you can still come on the night and buy one (costing £3) on the door.

We have a whole range of things on offer. You can buy products from the Body Shop or Party Lite or Em's Gems and we also have a stall selling bags and other craft items. Nail painting by former pupil Amber Roberts costs £3.50 and massages from MeTimeMassageTherapies have already been pre-booked, though there are a couple of slots still available from 8.30 p.m. We are really looking forward to a great night.

On Monday 7th April we will be hosting our next Bake 'n' Take, so we are hoping for plenty of home baking to be brought to school on Monday morning! The Bake 'n' Take starts at 3 p.m. in the cafe area.

Calling all thespians!

We are hoping to host a 'Murder Mystery Play' on Saturday 12th July and need willing actors and actresses to take part in this evening of intrigue and deception... Mrs Moore (English teacher at school) has kindly agreed to produce the play, but we need a cast of about 6 thespians (and possibly some people willing to act in a backstage capacity for us) for this to become a reality.

If you are able to be involved, you will need to be able to attend rehearsals beforehand and be free on 12th July. Please contact me via email (exams@hopehouseschool.org.uk) or via the School Office if you would like more information or would like to sign up. Mrs Moore will then arrange rehearsal times to suit you all and hopefully this will be a great way of raising funds and having an evening of suspense and mystery!

Coming soon...

Apart from the Pamper Evening on Tuesday 1st April, there are a number of dates to put in your diary:

1.  Bake 'n' Take on Tuesday 7th April at 3 p.m.
