Shall we the Scarcroft Trail walk?
In thunder, lightening, or in rain?
When the Pig & Pastry's closed, where the No.11 doth run
That will be ere the set of sun.
Where the place?
Upon South Bank
There to meet...
..everybody else out enjoying the spooktacular Scarcroft Hallowe'en Trail! We hope that you have lots of fun and enjoy a wonderfully creepy walk around South Bank.

Maps are still available from selected shops on Bishopthorpe Road for £1.

The digital map is also available via our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/friends-of-scarcroft-school-2024halloweentrail

*** Reception Parents ***

Every year we produce a wonderful tea-towel to mark the beginning of our Reception children's school journey. Each child creates a self-portrait which will be added to the tea-towel alongside the Scarcroft School logo.

We try to keep keep these as affordable as possible to ensure all parents are able to buy their edition.

The children will soon be drawing their fabulous portraits, and we'll let you know via email when the tea-towels are available to pre-order on ParentPay.
