MORE than 90 people turned up to support an inaugural quiz designed to raise funds for a village primary school on the edge of Wellington.

Langford Budville Church of England Primary School hosted the event - which covered everything from Premier League football to ‘name that tune’ - was held on Friday, November 8.

Run by the 'Friends of Langford Budville School Association' group, the quiz also included various different knowledge rounds, including naming Barbie's job.

Members of the community also contributed to the event, which was held in the Jubilee Hall in the village, by providing food platters and a bar.

A number of donations were given to a raffle, which was also a feature of the evening boosting school proceeds even further, which included a 6ft Christmas Tree from Langford Lakes, vouchers for local hair salons and barber shops, local artists and, of course, a number of different food and drink gifts.

Jonathan Moise-Souch, head of Langford Budville primary school, said the fundraising focus this year is to help support families of the children in the school with funding for their residential trips.

The winning team was headed by Derek Sowden, chairman of the parish council (pictured).

Derek said: It was a wonderful event, which brought the local community and the school closer together for a great evening of entertainment.”

Mr Moise-Souch has issued “a massive thank you” to everyone who helped to organise the successful event as well as those who attended.

The small village school, which has three classrooms and is part of the Moorland Federation, states on its website: “Through promoting academic excellence, collaboration, innovation, community engagement, social and emotional learning, environmental sustainability, safety, and continuous improvement, we work to foster a sense of community and ensure the success of every student while also working towards a better future for the planet.”
