There were plenty of prizes on offer at St Sebastian’s School Wokingham Summer Fayre on Saturday June 24. And the chairman of the council, Wokingham Cllr Angus Ross, was on hand to congratulate the winners enjoying the summer sunshine.

One of the most colourful competitions was certainly the fancy dress parade, but art competitions, face painting and magic tricks all added to the fun of the fayre, as well as stalls, performances from the choir, and an opportunity to see the head teacher in the stocks.

St Sebastian’s School is a small Church of England primary school on the borders of Crowthorne and Wokingham with 120 pupils aged from five to 11. The school’s active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) holds a number of events throughout the year to raise funds for the school and develop the close community of children, parents and staff.

The chairman of the council formally opened the St. Sebastian’s School Summer Fayre and also judged some of the competitions. He said: “St Sebastian’s School always has a very lively programme of events, made even more impressive by their small size. The PTA should be very proud of the support they are bringing to the school with all this hard work – as well as the lovely day they have given us all. It’s been great fun.”

Head teacher Colin Rouse said: “The fayre went really well, with about 70 families attending, which is great considering we only have 82 families at the school! We made a profit of just under £1,000 which everyone was very pleased with. It was lovely of Cllr Ross to not only open the fayre, but also spend lots of time there chatting to people and judging competitions.”
