Key stage 4 recently held a Cake and Craft sale to raise money for both the school minibus appeal and the Propeller Project . Classes from both the primary and secondary sites were joined by a number of parents and some Grandparents in a pleasant morning of eating, drinking, shopping and chat.
Pupils from Angus and Bec’s class sold biscuits, cakes and drinks to raise over £100 for the school minibus appeal. They also organised a raffle for an exceptional Easter inspired chocolate gateau, made by our very own Mary Berry , teaching assistant Frankie Holt. Everyone was keen for a chance to win the delicious looking cake and raffle ticket sales raised a further £50.
Pupils from Zoe’s class worked with Rebecca from the Propeller Project to sell Easter and Mother’s Day crafts.
The Propeller Project is a social enterprise established to provide work and life skills. The aim is to provide a taste of the commercial world and to allow pupils to interact with customers in a business situation. It also provides some real experience to add to a CV. Pupils produce craft products and grow seasonal plants and flowers. They are then involved in all aspects of selling their products. Rebecca said it was “A brilliant morning, We had good fun and raised £115 too!”. Pupils also sold some beautiful planted pots created at the Propeller Project that raised a further £35.
All in all the morning’s efforts raised a whopping £300!
Rebecca and Hamish from the Propeller Project and all the staff and pupils in Key Stage 4 would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came along and supported them!

As I teach in a mainstream secondary setting where the environment and pressures are slightly different I believe it will be an incredibly exciting opportunity whereby I could explore how my experiences in my own settings can adapt and encourage the growth of Springfield School.
I believe in developing the whole child through my own personal experience and the subject which I teach, I specialise in Drama and I believe that role play can be an empowering tool that is utilised to engage and develop the learning of students at all abilities.

I studied Electronic Engineering at Oxford Brookes University and gained a first class degree in 1997. Since then I have worked within the electronics industry and I am currently Head of Electronic Development for a small research and development company just outside of Bicester.
I’m a single parent with two children, Emily has just moved up into secondary school within Kidlington and my son Thomas is at Springfield on the Bronze Barrow site and has been there since he started within the nursery in 2010. I have always tried to play an active role within both my children’s schools, for 3 years I was a volunteer reader at my daughter’s primary school and have been a parent governor at Springfield since early 2013.
In the past few years, in a futile attempt to stave off old age, I have taken up running, cycling and swimming; I have completed the Blenheim Super Sprint Triathlon as well as several 10km runs at Blenheim and elsewhere.
