A SHINFIELD primary school will welcome residents to its upcoming community fayre.

Alder Grove’s summer fete is set to enthral, showcasing what the school is all about.

There will be something for everyone, with children treated to fayre games, a bouncy castle, face painting and an entertainment stage.

Meanwhile, adults will look to enjoy the various food and produce stalls, shopping opportunities and the raffle.

Despite being a relatively new addition to Shinfield, the school has already made a mark within the community.

“We’re a new school that opened in September 2020 to serve the existing town of Shinfield as well as the new housing development,” organiser Laura Parish explained.

“The school now has a large nursery, two reception classes and a Year 1 cohort.”

“It will continue to grow year on year until we are a full two form entry primary school.”

Funds raised on the day will go towards equipment for the school’s playground.

“The school’s ethos is based on Psalm 1:3: ‘They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season’,” Ms Parish said.

“The idea of developing deep roots and bearing fruits is something that permeates through all the school does.”

The fayre is organised by the Alder Grove School Parent, Carer, Staff Association (PCSA).

The committee are offering stalls and slots on the entertainment stage to local businesses.

Suitable raffle prizes are also welcome at this time.

Tickets are available at the door for £1 per person.

The fayre takes place between noon-5pm on Saturday, July 9, at Alder Grove Primary School, Shinfield.
