The children looked amazing today with their ‘Mad Hair’. The staff really struggled to award prizes for the most outrageous and creative hairstyles because everyone looked fabulous. After a long and thorough deliberation, prizes were awarded to Fatimah-Noor, Eesa, Evie, Aminah, Esme, Mia F and Fatima A.

Mad Hair Day was organised by our wonderful Rotakids in aid of cancer research, with all our donations going to The Little Princess Trust.

As part of today’s Celebration Assembly, Florence Whitehead (who is in Year 1) was incredibly brave and had over 11” of her own beautiful hair cut off. She is donating her hair to The Little Princess Trust to make a real hair wig for a very deserving child who has cancer. Florence has also raised over £1100, which the trust will utilise to provide two additional wigs for children. As a school, we are incredibly proud of Florence and the example she has set of how one person can make a real difference! Florence was rightly presented with a ‘Pride of Roughlee’ award – which was kindly donated by John Harrison Sports and Trophy Shop. Thank you to all our families who joined us in school today to support Florence. If you would like to sponsor Florence or learn more about The Little Princess Trust please click on:
