Cavendish School Fair Banner Slashed

Mindless vandalism mars School's Summer Fair

Parents, staff and friends of Cavendish Primary School in Chiswick were dismayed when their large red banner announcing the annual Cavendish Summer Fair was slashed to pieces with a knife last Friday night. 

The banner had been attached to the school railings facing the A316, during the run-up to the Fair which took place on Sunday.  Parents attempted to patch together the banner, but it was damaged beyond repair.

The sign had originally been bought with hard-earned PTA funds, and has been used for several years to advertise the school's regular Summer and Christmas Fairs.

The School would be extremely grateful to hear from anyone - or any local business - interested in contributing to a new banner.  A sponsorship arrangement could be considered.

Please direct any correspondence to the Head of Cavendish School at:

Despite the attack the fair itself was a great success. One parent told us, "it was the best ever as far as current parents know as we raised over £3,900. We will be using some of the money for computer leasing. "
