Dear Parents/Carers,

Charity Week (15^th – 19^th June 2026)

To launch our whole school Charity Week at Olton, we have planned a Sponsored Walk for the Juniors, which will take place on the afternoon of Monday 15^th June at 1:15pm. A separate email went out last week asking for volunteers for each class to join us on the walk. Thank you if you have already replied and can help. During Charity week, children will work together to raise money, develop their teamwork skills and apply their entrepreneurial skills through house markets and other activities.  We will be donating 80% of our profits to the two chosen charities and 20% will be used to support a designated school project. The Junior children will walk around Jubilee Park. Children should wear school uniform as usual, with comfortable shoes. They must bring a coat in case of rain.

As you have already completed a reply slip permitting us to take your child off school premises for local trips, we do not need to seek your permission on this occasion but please contact me if you have any questions.

The event will be closely supervised by staff, but we do require additional help from parents. The walk will take place in the afternoon, leaving at 1:15pm and finishing no later than 2.30pm. If you are able to accompany us and have not already let us know, please use the forms link below:

Infant Sponsored Events

All of our younger children will be completing a year group sponsored event during the week too. Our Nursery children are completing a sponsored scoot, Reception are doing a sponsored cycle, Year 1 are doing a sponsored bounce and Year 2 a sponsored skip.

Sponsor forms will be given out today and a brochure which outlines the events for the week sent via email. Please encourage your child to get lots of sponsors (but don’t let them collect money from strangers). 

Sponsor money should be brought into school no later than Friday 19^th June - it is important to know how much we have raised before the charity assemblies on Monday 22^nd June when the final amount raised will be announced and we will share the totals with you all.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Chamberlain

Head Teacher
