CPDS Fair 2020

Dear Community

I’d like to thank all of the people who have invested their time and energy and effort in supporting the CPDS school fair over the past years – we’re very grateful for all your contribution and it is clear how important the school fair is to you.

Despite some wonderful ideas and a desire from the community to keep the fair running, this unfortunately hasn’t translated into enough volunteers in the positions we need to make the fair possible.

After a lengthy period of weighing up all of the options as well as potential impact on the teaching staff, The Board of Trustees have no choice but to make the extremely difficult decision that there will be no school fair this year at CPDS.

We know that a school fair is not the only way to celebrate our place in the community. In fact, this year, we’re gearing up for a significant event in 2021 when we will be celebrating our school centenary, and our wonderful Friends and Family events are also going from strength to strength.

Our community is really important to us and we remain committed to finding other opportunities for our community to get together and celebrate and have a wonderful day out.  If you are interested in playing a role in organising an event like this, then please email us now.

Like many of you, I will always personally cherish my memories of the great CPDS school fair, and whilst there won’t be one this year, I remain excited about seeing ways in which our fair can evolve to become even better than before in the future.
