Last Friday, the whole of Peasedown St John Primary School turned bright yellow in support of Young Minds, with the #HelloYellow campaign.

Lots of fun was had by all the children, from

nursery to Year 6 and £324 was raised for the campaign. In the end, everyone agreed that the best-dressed prize had to go to Year 5 teacher, Miss Slater, who delighted her class by coming in dressed as a peelable banana!

Mrs Dando, Deputy Head, spoke about the importance of the Young Minds Campaign saying: “We have done lots of work to help our children return to school happily and confidently after lockdown and their mental health is at the forefront of everything we do.”

This view was echoed by Headteacher, Damian Knollys, who said: “Although I’m sorry I didn’t win the best dressed prize myself, I’m so very proud of all our children, who threw themselves into this fundraising event.

At Peasedown St John Primary School we strive for excellence, not just for ourselves, but for others, and our pupils love being such an integral part of their community. Fundraising for others is just the type of thing they love to do.”

Well done all of Peasedown St John, and of course to Miss Slater!
