The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
Join easyfundrasing.co.uk where possible if you shop online. This costs you nothing but raises free cash for our school. The school benefits from the marketing fee normally made to companies like Google or Bing or Apple. Three extra clicks more than usual can make a huge difference if big ticket items are purchased like holidays, flights or that little run a round you have your heart set on. Please ask friends and family to join and support our cause also once you have the hang of it.
If you work for a company and are a parent at our school you may be eligible for Match Funding. Please speak to your HR department to see if they operate Match Funding or Sharing Schemes for charities. The way it works is money raised during an event run by the PFA will be matched by your company if to operates the scheme. Until you ask you won't know. All for the cost of a conversation with HR.
For parents that are happy to, PFA would be grateful if you created a standing order mandates and donated regularly to the school, even as little as £10 pounds a month. We understand that some parents cannot afford to donate in this way and some are not comfortable with just plain cash coming out of their bank account.... but it really is not a lot and our children do better at school if parents can help contribute to the quality of their education.
