The winners were Emily Orman, Class 6 and parent Danielle Lendon who each received a Heron Way Star Baker apron, with child runners up of Bianca Chamberlain, Maddy Pringle and Orla O’Neill and parents Julie Grover and Jinny Meeking.

Head teacher James Crump, said: “I was astounded to see so many pupils and parents had taken the time to produce such top quality cakes; they are a true credit to the school.”

The fete, which was rescheduled at the last minute due to Saturday’s inclement weather, included over 40 stalls and performances from Years 3 and 4, Heron Way singers and Inspire Academy of Dance, with West Sussex Fire and Rescue in attendance. It succeeded in raising fundraised in over excess of £4,500 for the school.
