How Do We Help the School?
We are always grateful to everyone who supports a fundraising event, either by helping or attending (or both!) The money raised makes a significant difference to the school. Below are a few examples of how PTA money has enriched the experiences of children in our school.
Subsidising school trips
Coaches for school trips are often subsidised by the PTA, enabling all of our children to enjoy fascinating and enriching educational visits, for example to the Soldiers of Gloucestershire museum, Berkeley Castle and Chedworth Roman Villa, at a reduced cost.
Outdoor Resources
The PTA has funded resources to help with the school’s Outdoor School programme such as garden kneelers, a welly rack for YR and waterproof trousers for Y2. It has also contributed financially to the development of the school woodland area.
Library Resources
The PTA part-funded a large number of new fiction and information books for the school library, enhancing the children’s choice of up-to-date reading material.
Cycle Training
Each year the Year 5 children undertake cycle training to ensure their bikes are roadworthy and they are competent and safe cyclists. The PTA fund this training.
Christmas
The PTA arranges a visit from Father Christmas which includes presents for all the children.
