News

Thank goodness we are finally through the longest month of the year! We started 2024 with a meeting to kick off the year at the Plough, next to the fire as the snow (albeit a few flakes) was falling outside. It seems an age ago now.

However at this meeting we set about our plans for the upcoming year and beyond, with the first event kicking off on Friday 2nd February, as we welcomed the very youngest in our school community to their very own key stage one disco "Winterfest".

Do not worry we have not forgotten the older members of our school community and later in the year we will be welcoming them to their own key stage two disco "Summerfest" as the weather turns warmer.

As the 2023 calendar year closed members of the PTA could be found in the kitchen at the back serving hot chocolates and biscuits to celebrate the last day of term. We would like to thank everyone who came and celebrated with us. For this event we asked for donations we wanted to make sure that everyone who wanted a special treat could get one. We are not sure how many we served but there was not many of the 100 ginger Christmas trees left at the end. During this special breakfast treat we managed to raise £75.26 so thank you very much.

Our Christmas film night Elf on the 13th of December was a huge success, and we hope the Children enjoyed their cinematic experience…… Albeit a little noisy. We hope some of our newer parents enjoyed the “Adult Creche” a popular element of nearly all our PTA events. We lost count of how many glasses of mulled wine were poured, or how many hotdogs were eaten, but there were quite a few ketchup smeared smiles around the building. We hope that the Haddrell family in particular were very happy with their Giant Elf win.

That's two Giant Elves in two years that have made their way to their house!! We all know who is hoping for a Giant Elf next year!!

Our Christmas film night raised a massive £509.37, funds that were used to reduce the cost of the trip to the pantomime for every family.

In addition to the Christmas Breakfast treat, in the run up to Christmas Jumper day we ran several Christmas Jumper sales which were really popular. We would like to thank everyone who donated a pre-loved Christmas jumper and everyone who purchased a pre-loved Christmas jumper, these sales managed to raise £50, and we saved many jumpers from ending up on a landfill site.

You may also have seen us pop up at some school events and community events with a Christmas Wrapping station, this is something new for this year, and something that we hope to do again next year. A huge thanks to Andra and the members of the PTA who gave up their time to wrap gifts, we thought they looked fab under the Christmas tree. We will publicise our dates and locations nearer to the time.

We raised £35 in donations for wrapping.

The monies raised from the Christmas breakfast, the Christmas Jumpers and the Christmas wrapping was used to purchase the Christmas Crackers that every child received when they had their Christmas Dinner at school.

We hope they enjoyed getting into the festive spirit.

Donate whilst you shop

Are you signed up to Easyfundraising?

Easyfundraising offers an easy, accessible and continual way for us to raise free funds.

Big brands like Tesco, Amazon, M&S and 7,000 others want to give back to schools. When someone shops at one of these brands online, the brand will donate a percentage of what you spend to the PTA. It's like using a cashback site but the funds come to the PTA rather than an individual.

Once you have signed up to Easyfundraising this is how it works: you want to buy new shoes for your kids, instead of heading directly to the Clark's website, you head to the Easyfundraising website or app first and then click on the Clark's link. Once the purchase is made because you went to Easyfundraising first, we will receive a percentage of your spend directly... It's easy!
