One of Albrighton’s biggest community fun days is returning this weekend with the aim of giving a local school a major ‘tech’ boost.

St Mary’s CE Primary School is throwing open its gates to host its Summer Fayre on Saturday 21 June, with hundreds of local people set to take part in more than 20 different fun-filled activities.

Starting at 11.30am, the event will feature a Wolves Foundation penalty shoot-out, game stalls, bouncy castles and face painting, with lots of different food options and an ice cream van to cool everyone down during the expected sunny weather.

The school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is hoping to raise hundreds of pounds to update vital tech equipment to support the teaching of the computing curriculum, including the purchase of up to 15 iPads.

Like last year, the St Mary’s CE Primary School Summer Fayre has received fantastic backing from local businesses, with 33 companies pledging raffle prizes.

These include a £40 voucher from Italian restaurant Rosello, a free coaching session courtesy of Albrighton Tennis Club, a family pass from the Kingswood Trust and free underlay and carpet (worth £500) from John Poole.

For the more active-minded there is also a free month’s gym membership available at David Corfield.
