Summer fayre raises funds for St Kenelm's Primary School

The event brought together families, pupils and the wider community for an afternoon of fun and fundraising on the school grounds, with support from a nearby housebuilder.

Bellway, which is building the Harvino development in Romsley, sponsored the event for a second year and contributed £250 towards the raffle.

Leah Jacques, secretary of the Home School Association, said: "St Kenelm’s Summer Fayre is one of the highlights of our school calendar, bringing together pupils, families, staff, local businesses and the wider community for a fun-filled afternoon while raising valuable funds for the school.

"This year, we decided to run our raffle a little differently by introducing Gold, Silver and Bronze 100-square boards, each offering a range of fantastic prizes.

"Thanks to Bellway’s generous sponsorship, we were able to offer a £250 top prize on our Gold board.

"The prize was won by a very surprised and delighted parent, creating a memorable moment and generating great excitement around the raffle."

The fayre also featured face painting, carnival games, a tombola, a bouncy castle, and local art and craft stalls.

Angela Nurse, sales manager at Bellway West Midlands, said: "We supported St Kenelm’s Summer Fayre for the first time in 2025, and it has been fantastic to continue our relationship with the school through this year’s event."

Ms Jacques said the funds raised through events like the fayre make a big difference to the school community.

She said: "Fundraising events such as our Summer Fayre play an important role in helping us enhance opportunities for our pupils, and we are incredibly grateful for Bellway’s support.

"Their contribution helped make our raffle a success."
