APPLEFORD School celebrated the autumn term with another successful Apple Day.
The event at the school, which caters for children with dyslexia and associated learning difficulties, has grown over the last 15 years from a couple of fundraising activities to a large-scale autumn fair which raises funds for the school.
Richard Caley, deputy headteacher at the school, said: “The first Apple Day arose when our Founders Day was moved to the autumn term.
“We wanted a celebration which related to the harvest of apples and it has grown considerably over the past few years. Former pupils look forward to coming back on this day and taking part in the festivities and, of course, enjoying a delicious toffee apple.”
This year the day coincided with Dyspraxia Awareness Week and to mark the event each of the pupils released a red balloon with a label asking to be returned to the school.
