Bramley Fete - 18th May 2013

Hi All.

Bramley Fete was a good success. It was nice to see so much support for the Villages Free School. The weather held up really well and a few sponges were thrown too! Thank you to all who came to see us. We shall do it all again on the 9th of June at Shalford Fete.

Our application to the New Schools Network is also progressing nicely. We had an interview today! It went well. We got some good feedback and great tips for our full application to the DFE. We'll find out at the beginning of June if we've been successful and selected to join the NSN Development Programme which will really help our application. So fingers crossed! We'll let you know as soon as we do!

Kind regards,

The VFS Team.
