WHAT WE DO

We organise events to bring parents, children and the local community together and raise money. The money we raise means the school can pay for essential equipment (hugely important in an era of massive governmental budget cuts) and organise fun events for all to enjoy and participate in.

​

The following are just some of the items we have purchased for the school in recent years:-

• Laptops and much needed computer equipment

• Forest School fencing and equipment

• An outdoor gym

• Daily Mile track

• School hall PA system and screen

• School hall blinds

• Scooter and cycle shelters 

• Attendance awards

• Each year we subsidise swimming lessons, Christmas Pantomime and the Year 6 Leavers Trip.

 

FUNDRAISING

We encourage families to use The Giving Machine to do their internet shopping and raise money with no extra cost.

 

Use The Giving Machine as a 'springboard' to do your online shopping and the retailer donates a percentage of the cost of your shop - for FREE!

​

This has raised the school hundreds of pounds to date!
