Big top skills to feature at Primary school’s popular annual fundraiser
Seaton Primary School is busy preparing for one of the highlights of its year – the annual summer fete.
The event takes place from 2pm, on Saturday, July 8, and there will be a circus theme for the day.
Pupils were invited to design an appropriate front cover for the programme and the winner was Isabelle Hilton, aged nine.
Her drawing was chosen from more than 300 entries across all year groups by Parent, Teacher Association representative Louise Hancock, who project-managed the programme from start to ?nish.

Louise said: “There were some fantastic entries and it was clear to see that all the children had put in a lot of effort into their designs.
”It was really difficult to choose a winner but Isabelle’s design stood out for being so colourful and full of life. The fete promises a fun-packed day for all the family with free entry and free bouncy castles for the children to enjoy.”
