affordable family fun at our huge summer fair!

The HSCA Summer Fair is the biggest event of our school year. We take over the playground and playing field with lots of family fun. We’ll have lots of stalls and games, with plenty to see and do. There will be inflatables to help the children let off some steam. Our performance arena features performances from local groups and clubs from within the school. We’ll have the annual tug-of-war too!

The event is a major fundraising source - with funds going to important projects for both Hook Junior and Infant schools. This year, with your support, we have funded iPads, playground equipment, and the expansion and improvement of the Junior playground.

We will have our huge raffle with a chance to win a Eurocamp holiday! There will be our second hand uniform sale, fantastic food and drink, and our community corner with the foodbank and book swap.

Make sure the date is in your diary - its free to enter! Read on for more info or to volunteer or buy raffle tickets!

Volunteer

The Summer Fair is important to the children - and we can’t pull it off without an army of volunteers. Teachers, Support Staff, Parents, Grandparents and Students all rally round to pull off the summer fun!

We need 150 volunteers, for event setup or to run a stall or game. If you can help for just 1 hour, please sign up using the link below.

You can volunteer with your child - they love collecting the tokens or resetting a game! Year 5s and older can run a game by themselves.

All adult volunteers are entered into a draw to win a bottle of prosecco, and all child volunteers are entered into a draw to win a special prize.

pre-loved Uniform

Our selection of pre-loved uniform will be available for purchase at the Fair. If you need to pick up some bits, this is the perfect opportunity where you can try items on and see the quality of our items. Remember you can buy your pre-loved uniform 24/7 from our webshop. We will take uniform offline for a short while before and after the fair as our stock will change.

Tombolas

The cornerstone of any Summer Fair, our tombolas are always very popular. Run by the school teachers and staff, send your little ones along to try their luck pulling tickets.

Junior Tombola

On Friday 27th June, there will be a non-uniform day. Students are asked to bring in a bottle for donation to the tombola. This can be a bottle of anything, alcoholic, non-alcoholic, shampoo, washing up liquid. If it comes in a bottle - then its in! Please make sure all bottles are in-date where applicable.

Infants Tombola

The same for the infants, it’s non-uniform time on Friday 27th June. Students are asked to bring in a Jolly Jar! What is a Jolly Jar? Take a glass jam jar, wash it out, and fill it with something exciting. This could be a small toy, some craft materials, sweets, colouring, or an activity. Pop the lid on your jar and then get creative - decorate it with stickers, paints, glitter - whatever tickles your fancy!

PERFORMANCE ARENA

Our event arena is the focal point of the event, with performances from children and local groups.  We are privileged to have so many talented children at the schools.
