A parent from the year two class at Shenington Primary School has launched a GoFundMe web page to help raise money for the class two teacher at the school.

The parent posted a heartfelt message encouraging people to help out on the GoFundMe page, which said: "Our wonderful Class 2 teacher at Shenington Primary School, Miss White, experienced a devastating fire at her home on Wednesday 10th February.

"Thank goodness she is safe and well, but sadly she has lost absolutely everything.

"She has done so much for our children in class 2, and also for the school as a whole. She is bubbly and upbeat and has brought enthusiasm and dedication to our fabulous school.

"We’d really like to support her during this horrendous time as she rebuilds her home life.

"Please consider donating so that she can buy some essentials and get back on her feet. We know this is an extremely difficult time for everyone and we are so grateful for your support.

"With love and gratitude - Parents and Children of Class 2."

But organisers would like to raise as much as possible to help the teacher in her time of need.
