We will have a PA system and microphones that you can use – just provide any music / instruments and props that you need!

Nelson families and staff- please help to volunteer in our last car park of the summer- the Eminem Concert car parks on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of July.  It’s easy and fun to do and raises valuable funds for our school. This helps our children by providing extra equipment and books, transport for school trips, supporting workshops and improving the facilities at our school. 

Our volunteers work as a team and aim to provide our car park customers a friendly and efficient service. New volunteers either “meet and greet” our pre booked customers or direct them into the playground.  No experience is necessary- all training will be given.
