The PFA has a vital role, supporting the staff and pupils by raising money to buy additional equipment for the school. It is open to all parents and carers, with a small friendly committee and an enthusiastic group of helpers.
Through our staff representative, we receive wish lists from all departments, and we also involve the School Council.
We raise money through community events such as raffles, Quiz Nights, second hand uniform sales, pop up stalls, silent auctions etc. We are always looking for new ideas for fundraising and support from businesses for raffle prizes/sponsorship and always welcome help to run events.
If many give a little of their time, we can do more for our children, but if you are unable to do this you can contribute through one of our targeted fundraising projects through Justgiving or through matched funding via your employer.
Here’s where some of the funds went last year:
-
Piano Restoration Project
-
Pasta Making Equipment
-
MUGA refurbishment
-
‘Big Read’ Books
-
Sports Equipment
-
Pottery Kiln Repairs/Maintenance
-
Coombe Wildlife Garden
#SocialSpaces - Our Story
Our children need space at school where they can hang out and nurture their friendships. Over the Summer term the PFA have committed to putting our fundraising resources behind an ambitious plan to transform/improve the outdoor social provision for all students; part of a bigger refurbishment of the Quad that the school aims to create later in the year.
“Because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less and smile a little more!"
Best friends. Besties. Our children thrive on their friendships and need the space at school where they can hang out to nurture their friendships.
We need your help to create this space, by funding new and improved, sheltered, outdoor seating, which will contribute to the comfort and well-being of students at school.
Right now you can help by making a donation to this great project.by following this link to our JustGiving fundraising page #SocialSpaces - click here to donate
Here, you can find out more about the exciting plan. We appreciate any amount you can give, large or small, the more of us who contribute, the faster we can make it happen!
Once completed, this area will provide additional sheltered seating for approximately 180 pupils. At the moment, this work is planned for the Summer term, so let’s see what we can do to help the school reach this goal!
