School Circle would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff members, volunteers, and participants who made our first ever Leap such a wonderful success.
Their enthusiasm, dedication, and generous support brought our community together in the most meaningful way. From planning and setup to engaging activities and cleanup, every effort made a difference and the feedback has been incredible from the public who took part. This event would not have been possible without the time, energy, and spirit contributed, and we are truly grateful.
That said, organizing and running this event with such a small team presented many challenges. It required extra time, effort, and commitment from a handful of dedicated individuals who went above and beyond to ensure everything came together. This experience has reminded us just how crucial volunteering is to the success of School Circle. We encourage more members of our school community to get involved—every helping hand makes a big difference and helps lighten the load for everyone.
Without (hopefully!) missing anyone out, thank you again to:

We also had an incredible team of children who really pitched in to help on the fete, thank you to Emily Probert, Camilla Aljan, Neve Jordan and Matilda Baxter-Smith.
