Family Fortunes – Next Week!

There’s been a terrific response to our upcoming Family Fortunes night. Tickets have been selling fast in the first week of sales with lots of people really excited to see the School Teachers up on stage going head-to-head with the Parent Team.

Family FortunesOur survey of the children has now been concluded and all the questions and answers are locked up in readiness for the big night. At this point, FOBS would like to say a massive thank-you to the school and all the parents who returned forms allowing us to survey the children. Special thanks go to Mrs Barker who painstakingly wrote down every single answer to every single question from every single child – It took a surprising amount of time and effort (don’t even think about trying to bribe her for details – she’s sworn an oath of secrecy!)

The children, as we expected, were absolute stars: Charming, smart, witty, cute, funny, clever and sometimes very surprising! We really look forward to sharing some of their responses with the audience on the night.

Don’t forget, in addition to the quiz show itself, on the night you can also enjoy a song by the School Choir, a performance by Caroline Lewis Dance School and a very special appearance from our extremely stealthy Mystery Parent Singer. There will also be a bar and snacks available before the performance and in the interval.

We still have some tickets left for the show, but it looks as if they will sell out before the night, so if you don’t want to miss this one-off event, pay a quick visit to the school office with your cash and grab some of the last few seats!

Family Fortunes Night – Ticket Sales

Tickets for the Family Fortunes night on Friday 21st March will be on sale in the playground after school on Wednesday and Friday of this week.
Adult tickets are £3, children £2
Don’t forget, each ticket sold raises money for the school charity and if you’re lucky, it might win you a spot prize on the night – so keep it safe and bring it with you!
NB. Children who will be singing in the school choir (or dance school) will still need a ticket for a seat for the rest of the show.
