Sunday Funday at Headstart School

Lots of great entertainment was on hand to keep children amused including a bouncy castle, games, stalls selling a variety of arts and crafts, an animal area with goats, peacocks, sheep and pigs, and the opportunity to select an egg from the chicken hutch to take home.

Face-painting was available for the more adventurous, and a sizzling barbecue made a delicious alternative to a more traditional Sunday lunch.

Headmistress Nicki Dann said that the school were hoping to make the 'Funday' and annual event and that the funds raised from the event were for the school's new charity project.

She said: "The project will offer part-time agricultural and construction courses for young people who truant or who are excluded from school, giving them the opportunity to engage in a vocational project, attend and achieve, setting them back on the path to full-time school."
