Important Information

Parent Volunteers

We would love any parents or other relatives of Thomas Coram pupils to perform in a concert to pupils. This would be on a Tuesday at 1pm and only last an hour. All standards of performers are welcomed on any instrument. Vocal performances would also be very welcome. Please email the school or speak to Mrs Bruguier if this is something that you would like to participate in. We would like this to be in April.

Game on

In return they ask parents to make a donation to their chosen charity which this year is Teenage Charity Trust. The Trust does amazing work to improve the quality of life and chance of survival for young cancer patients aged 13 to 24 and they hope to beat last years total of £2,100. Thomas Coram's day is Friday 21st February details of how to book can be found here.
