Rainford High’s Christmas fayre brings the community together

Rainford High spread festive cheer with its annual Christmas fayre. It brought together the whole community: students, staff, families and local residents for a fun-filled evening.

Now in its ninth year, the fayre was once again a resounding success. Over 1000 visitors explored a wide variety of craft stalls. They enjoyed festive treats and even live musical performances from the school’s talented students.

Children were especially excited to meet Father Christmas in the beautifully decorated grotto. Competitions and raffles added to the fun and helped boost fundraising efforts.

Rainford High is raising money for a range of local causes throughout December. The Christmas markets marked the beginning of a month-long series of charitable activities. So far, the school has raised over £5900.

Students and staff have continued their season of goodwill in school with a Santa Dash, Foodbank Fridays, and other initiatives aimed at supporting those in need across the community.

Leading the fundraising activities is Miss Alexandra Fairclough-Marsh, director of business and finance at Rainford High. She said:

“The season of goodwill is a much-loved time in our school calendar, and I’m incredibly proud to see our students, staff and families come together to support those who need it most.

“A huge thank you to everyone who has donated already. It is wonderful to see our school community working tirelessly to make a positive difference for those in need, spreading kindness and joy throughout the festive season.”

Mr Ian Young, principal of Rainford High, said:

“Our ethos ‘Everyone Matters, Everyone Helps, Everyone Succeeds’ comes to life in moments like this. Watching our students, staff and families raise money and give up their time during the festive season is inspiring. It shows the positive impact we can have when we all support each other and work together.”
