CHISWICK CAR BOOT SALE ON ITV’S THIS MORNING!
This Morning’s Dan Hatfield visited our very own car boot on Sunday 7th April. You may have spied the drone if you were there, who took the incredible bird’s eye view image. The piece aired on ITV’s This Morning, during Thursday 11th April’s episode.
April’s sale fell at a difficult time for everyone’s calendars but thanks to lots of new volunteers, including members of staff, not only did the sale go ahead but it raised an absolutely incredible £10,646!!!!
The May sale was beautifully sunny and absolutely packed with buyers (over 3000 across the day: our second largest number recorded). It raised £9,400, despite not having full use of the field for that sale, due to repair works (new seed/turf, funded by the PTA).
Please consider helping out at future sales - they are a great way to meet other parents, support our school - and enjoy a free coffee whilst wearing a walkie talkie and a high-viz vest!
The next sale is June 2nd: If you can help, please email Hayley who is organising the rota. There are lots of different slots and times are available!
