They ask for a donation of £2.00 to be put in the pot to help cover the costs. They use the donations to by some materials and any profits will be shared between the school and Alabare. A local Andover charity that supports vulnerable, homeless and marginalised people.

Mrs Melanie Beardsley the head teacher of Andover C of E says, “Staff have all taken reopening well and are adapting to manning our current 3 bubbles. This week our keyworker children have been joined by 8 year r pupils. We welcomed with bubbles and stickers and all are happy to be here. All the planning, furniture removals have been worth it. Next week we will be opening up to year 1 and then year 6 on the 15th June. I’m so proud of the staff team and children who have made this week a pleasure. We also launched a enhanced home learning package for learners At home with zoom lessons incorporated at home along with competitions and challenges in our Facebook page including singing our give yourself a hug song written by one of the teachers.
