Can I stay at School Friday Night?

Not what you expect to hear from today’s school kids, but just what many parents of Buttsbury schoolchildren were asked recently. 

Buttsbury’s School “Mission Statement and Aims” includes:
Buttsbury Junior School provides a safe, inclusive and challenging learning journey in a fun environment, where there is pride in achievement, and teamwork that builds respect and trust.

This was embodied, in an unusual way, on Friday evening, January 27, when 75 Year Six children all slept over!

It was only the second time ever that the school had run this event (the last time was in February 2020 as a fundraiser for headteacher Ann Robinson’s London marathon run) and it was once again, a great success.

Ann said “The key purpose of the evening was to have fun, but, we also saw great teamwork with clear respect and trust towards each other. An unusual event like this, really does tick the “above and beyond” box and I am grateful to Miss Carroll, who helped on Friday evening, and to Mrs Cattini and Mrs Pretlove, who stayed the night! Thank you also to Dr Sarfraz, Mrs McLellan, Mrs Natusch and Mrs Lyczewski who assisted during the event and to Jo, our school cook, who joined us early on Saturday morning, to prepare breakfast baps, cereal and juice!
We raised £600 for the School.  Roll on next year! “
