Thank you to everyone in the school community, who regularly donate items to the PTA Bag2School collections. Your generosity helps people around the world and also the school, as they receive approximately £25 for every 10 bags donated (based on an assumption of 5kg a bag).
Items donated must be dry, clean and of good quality, see website: https://bag2school.com/what-we-collect
The school’s next collection is Thursday 25 April (9am).

Site preparation of the playground for the installation of new equipment has started and should be finished in the next few days. This will be followed by installation which we hope will take place by the end of the week. The fencing around the new equipment will remain in place until the cold pour surfacing is laid. This should happen next week but the exact date is dependant on weather as the ground needs to be dry.
Please don’t be tempted to try anything out until it is finished!

I don’t suppose anyone signed for a large Amazon parcel yesterday for Richard Maddocks. It was signed for by Mr Jim at number 1 but no one at West View signed for it and there is no sign of the parcel (it is big!). If anyone knows anything can you let Lucy M know on 07728988329

April Parwich Film Show ONE LIFE
You’d need a heart of stone not to be touched by this extraordinary true story of Nicholas Winton, the “British Schindler”, and by the simplicity and heartfelt directness with which it’s told by screenwriters Nick Drake and Lucinda Coxon and director James Hawes. It’s a story of wartime Europe and postwar memory, and also a noble and inspired moment in the history of British popular TV. London broker Nicholas “Nicky” Winton helps rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia in a race against time before the Nazi occupation closes the borders. Fifty years later, he’s still haunted by the fate of those he wasn’t able to bring to safety.
Starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Bonham-Carter

Wondering if you can help. I recently found an article written almost 20 years ago by a Mary Whitechurch (nee Lewis) for the Parwich & District Local History Society telling the story of the Evans Family of Darley Abbey. I wondered if anybody knew whether Mary was still alive/contactable as I have recently been given copies of 3 photographs of possible family members which she might have been able to identify.
