Summer Fair 2025 News

WFA Summer Fair 2025: £4,770 raised!

What an amazing result! We couldn’t have done it without all our volunteers.  It was wonderful to have some new parents as well as ex-parents of Westbourne among them.

At the fair, children had the pleasure to try on police uniforms with photo opportunities in front of a police van, meet the Sutton Fire crew and more photo opportunities with Bee Mascot from Be Active Sports & Clubs. The inflatable Mega Assault Course was proved to be hugely popular. There was something for everyone to do and enjoy! Spin the Wheel, Face Painting, Tombola, Pocket Money Stall, Adopt a Pet, Raffle and many other fun stalls. The refreshments area had candy floss, cakes, pizza, samosas and sandwiches.

A massive thank you goes to our sponsors: Butler's Homes in Sutton, our main sponsor for financing the inflatable area of the fair. A generous cheque donation from William Allen Young Charitable Trust.

Also to all the donors who were more than generous as usual: Papa John's, Tesco & Cheam Sutton, Bocketts Farm, Fishers Adventure Farm Park, Bright Light Education, Hobbledown Epsom, Hobbledown Heath,  Kidspace, Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre, Godstone Farm, Honest Burgers and so many more individuals have donated items through Mufti Days, etc. to support our fundraising efforts towards the school.

All our talented bakers who donated all the lovely cupcakes, brownies, cookies and all the other yummy baked goods. Thank you all!

Special thanks to Services and Performers: Adam from Sutton Community Dance as our DJ and SCD dance crews; Mrs Bolton for teaching and organising performance by Westbourne dance clubbers.  We thoroughly enjoyed all the performances! Also, JP for creating our poster and Ghousia who took charge of 300 samosas.

A very special thank you to Mr Miracapillo for supporting us every step of the way!

Want to help?

All parents and carers of Westbourne Primary School children are automatically members of Westbourne Fundraising Association.

We are always in need of volunteers to help planning, organising and running each of our fundraising events. Whether you are utilising your existing skills and knowledge to support us or to gain new experience through volunteering it is a great way to help your child’s school and the local communities.  Furthermore, it is an excellent way to meet other parents and carers of the school.
