Don't forget to order your name labels with Stikins! It's an easy way to support the PTFA - every little helps :)

As parents, we are aware that time is precious, which is why we think these labels are such a great idea; they simply stick onto the wash-care label of clothing. No sewing or faff!

How it works:

Each order placed *quoting the school reference number 23108* will provide the school with 30% commission.
Simply visit www.stikins.co.uk to find out more and support The Firs Lower PTFA. Many thanks :)

P.S. don't panic if you're on holiday and think you'll run out of time to order; the turnaround time is super fast so you've got loads of time!

Stikins® are sticky name labels for school clothes with a strong adhesive & black print that never fades. Millions of Stikins® name tags washed weekly since 2015.

What a wonderful Ampthill Big Tent Weekend Parade!

So many of us were pleased to see the return of the parade this year - our PTFA rose to the occasion, organising our school community to dress up as animals from the Ampthill Zoo (yes there was once a Zoo in Ampthill!)

Ampthill Through the Ages was a great comeback theme and our kids and their grown-ups did us proud.

And guess what? We won the trophy for the Best Depiction of the theme!
