Cake sale guidelines:
KGPS Friends cake sales are held every Thursday and are very popular, often raising £150 or more each week. Your Class Reps will remind you when it is your class’s turn to organise the sale. To help you plan:
- There are roughly 300 children in the school so each parent in the class whose sale it is should aim to provide about 20 cakes, biscuits, muffins, etc.
- If you don’t have the time or talent for baking, store-bought goodies are just as welcome.
- Upper School aren’t dismissed until 3:30 p.m. Do make sure you have enough cakes for them — perhaps set some aside.
- Children who go into aftercare or clubs often miss out. Try to bring some cakes to them.
- Cakes brought to school at drop off in the morning should be left by the front window in the hall, not in the kitchen.
- Cake tins should be labelled with owners’ names. Empty tins will be left overnight by the window for collection in the morning.
- Trestle tables can be found in the hall. Feel free to bring your own tablecloths if you wish to decorate your stall. Please put (clean) tables back where you found them.
- There is a special cash float for cake sales. Collect it from the school office. Please return it to the office after the sale.
- All cakes should be priced at 50p each—this keeps things simple, and helps parents know how much money to send in with the children. If cakes are very small, you may wish to sell two for 50p. Obviously, feel free to sell bigger cakes/bags of cakes for more money: lots of mums love buying these, but please ensure you have lots of 50p cakes for the children.
- On rainy days, the cake sale is held in the school hall instead of in the courtyard.
- Many classes find that arranging their sale around a theme makes it more fun for both the children and the parents.
- ALL CAKES MUST BE NUT-FREE!
