This week

We have bene truly festive this week, our Bake Off started the week off - with incredible entries! Thank you to everyone who entered and a big well done to Isabelle, our overall winner! We had our fabulous Christmas dinner on Wednesday - thank you to the kitchen and our wonderful servers for helping make it such an excellent experience for the children. Yesterday, we had our Christmas parties which the children thoroughly enjoyed! Thankyou to our Friends of TC, for arranging and sorting it all - the children had an excellent time and makes school such an enjoyable time! Today, we had our EOT service which was spectacular with the amount of people. We sadly said goodbye to Miss Williamson. She has been with us for nearly ten years now and will be sorely missed! Thank you Miss Williamson for all you have done for Team TC, you have been a real asset and will be so missed. From all of Team TC, we want to say a big thank you for all of the Christmas well wishes and gifts we have received, we really are very blessed! Remember to enjoy those good times together and be thankful for all we have! We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday 6th January, we hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Love from all of Team TC xx

Friends of Thomas Coram

A Huge Thank You!
We’re so grateful to everyone who’s supported FOTC in this first quarter. In just a short time, we’ve raised vital funds to improve the education and wellbeing of our kids—and it’s all thanks to the incredible engagement of our community and the dedication of our amazing volunteers.

A special shout-out to our Christmas team for pulling off a sell-out event in just a few weeks—what an achievement! 👏

We can’t wait to bring you more events and fun in the new year. Stay tuned!
