Knox Academy have registered with a new fundraising website which will help us, and you, earn cashback from your everyday shopping. Buy4schools is a website which provides access to over 2,000 online shops, including Tesco, Boots, Dixons, Marks & Spencer, Toys R Us, PC World, Next, Play.com and many more.

Purchases made from any retailer via our Buy4schools webpage, generates up to 15% commission, which is then split 50/50 between the school and parent.

The great thing is that parents only need buy what they were going to anyway, and they earn cashback for it!

A few important points:

  • Buy4schools is FREE for schools and parents
  • There is no obligation for you to buy anything
  • Shops won't charge you any more for buying through Buy4schools
  • You will not receive unsolicited emails from Buy4schools

Every parent gets a £5 welcome bonus when they register so please help us raise funds and earn cash-back you at the same time.

We hope you sign up and are very grateful for your support. We will keep you regularly informed over the coming months of how much we raise.

This summer Children’s BBC in Glasgow launches a brand new game show hosted by Pete Firman, called “Wait for It..!” Hailing from a department already responsible for some of CBBC’s biggest shows ‘Raven’, ‘Get 100’, ‘Stakeout’, ‘Ed and Oucho’s Excellent Inventions’ this promises to be another CBBC hit.

We’d like to invite viewers and fans of CBBC to take part in the studio recordings which are due to take place at the start of the school summer holidays.

There is a an amazing opportunity for children aged between 9-13 years old to come into Studio A at Pacific Quay and be part of the audience for the game. The show itself is a great mix of questions and game play, where contestants must wait as long as possible to answer in order to score maximum points. The main aim of the game is to avoid being plunged into a large pool of gunge!

The lucky audience members will enjoy a ring side seat at the pool of gunge and get to cheer on contestants throughout! Not to be missed.

For more information contact us now at waitforitaudience@bbc.co.uk or on 0141 422 6769. Recording dates are Tues 30th June – Fri 10th July (inclusive).
