A huge thank you to everyone who supports our PTA!

We were delighted to fund football freestyle workshops with Steve Gray, giving every child in school the opportunity to take part. It was fantastic to see the children inspired and amazed by Steve's incredible skills throughout the day.

This is a wonderful example of how the money raised through PTA events and fundraising is used to provide enriching experiences for all of our children.

Our PTA is at a crossroads, and we need some amazing parents to step forward.

Sadly, our wonderful Secretary and Treasurer are stepping down, and we urgently need to fill these roles. The good news? They can be shared, so you don’t have to take them on alone (although if you’d like to, that’s fantastic too!).

Our PTA exists because parents give a little of their time to create a lot of magic for our children — from fundraising and events to memories they’ll never forget.

But the reality is…… without volunteers, there won’t be a PTA.

That means losing the things our children look forward to each year - the fair, Frozen Fridays, Easter and Christmas treats, Elfridges, Carols on the Green, leavers’ gifts, book bags and exciting visits like our recent football freestyle workshop.

I’m so excited about who we have lined up to visit next year (it’s still a secret! 🤫), and we’d hate for opportunities like that to disappear because we don’t have enough volunteers.

We all love seeing our children enjoy these events, but they don’t happen by themselves. They happen because parents just like you volunteer. And don’t forget - our PTA is a registered charity, so if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer for a charity… we’re it! ❤️

You don’t need to know everything from day one, you won’t be doing it alone and you don’t have to come to every meeting - we all help as and when we can.

We know everyone is busy juggling work, family, clubs and a million other things. But if everyone thinks someone else will do it, eventually there’s no one left.

If your children have ever benefited from something the PTA has provided, now is the time to help keep those opportunities going.

Please consider getting involved. Even if you’re just curious, come and have a chat. We’re a friendly, open and sociable bunch - just parents muddling through together, sharing ideas, having a laugh and making great things happen for our children.

Together we can keep our PTA going.

Whether you can take on a role, help out now and then, or simply want to find out more - every bit of support counts.

Please message us or speak to a member of the PTA if you’d like to help. We don’t bite, we promise - we’re just a friendly bunch who love a chat (and a cuppa!).

Lindsay, PTA Chair, Year 4 Mum 🙂

Thank you to our amazing school community in supporting another wonderful PTA event.

A special thanks to the teachers that showed up and got stuck in, nearly winning the quiz but pipped at the post. Our amazing PTA crew for their dedication to enhancing all our children’s school experience. And finally, the families that came along, brought the energy, and made the evening such a success. Your support, generosity, and community spirit are what make these events so special.

It was fantastic to see everyone laughing, competing, and enjoying time together, all while helping to raise valuable funds for the school. We truly appreciate every ticket bought, raffle entered, donation made, and helping hand offered.

We’re already looking forward to the next one! soon :-)

On Tuesday 3rd and Thursday 5th March, we’ll be celebrating World Book Day with our Woody Wonderlicious Golden Ticket Extravaganza! ✨📚🍫

We’ll be selling delicious 100g chocolate bars from the Pavilion on the field (weather permitting) – and some bars will contain a special winning Golden Ticket!

Woody Fun Club children, on both days, will be brought to buy their bars after all other families have left the school grounds.

Golden Ticket winners could enjoy a fun school-based experience for themselves or their whole class, plus there are plenty of other exciting World Book Day prizes up for grabs too!

This event was a huge hit last year and completely sold out! The excitement and buzz around school was amazing, and the queues were certainly something to see — so make sure you come early to avoid missing out!

We’re launching a new social café for our children’s grown-ups! ☕🍪

It was wonderful to see our community come together at our annual Carols on the Green - we hope you all enjoyed an evening of music, laughter, and festive fun.

Your support has been amazing for our very first Elfridges shop in school. It was a joy to see the children choosing gifts for their loved ones!

We would also like to thank our local sponsors and donors for helping make both of these events possible. Together, we’ve raised an incredible £2,243.83 to enhance our children’s education - thank you for your support!

At this year’s Carols on the Green, we’ll be drawing our much-loved Christmas Raffle — and for the first time ever, we’re adding Rainbow Prizes! Each colour-themed bundle will be created from the donations collected during our non-uniform day.

Get creative! Think about what you’d love to win in your colour bundle, and bring something along to match.

On the 26th, children can wear any colour they like, but please send in a donation in their year group’s assigned colour.

Thank you, as always, for your wonderful support. We couldn’t run these special events or support our children the way we do without you.

Elfridges is a festive pop-up shop in school to give children the fun experience of choosing and giving gifts!

# data[].attributes.body
On Wednesday 17th December, during the school day, pupils from each class will get the chance to visit our very own Elfridges store. Inside, there will be a wonderful selection of gifts for the children to choose from — perfect for the grown-ups, such as parents, carers, grandparents, or any other special adults in their life.

Before the event, families can preorder and pay for the gifts in advance. Then, on the day, their children will visit Elfridges with classmates and secretly pick surprise gifts for their loved ones. Once they’ve chosen, the children will be given a pre-wrapped gift and a gift tag to write their own message for each present — adding that personal and heartfelt touch.

It’s a lovely way for children to enjoy the excitement of giving, experience independence, and share the joy of Christmas!

Helpful info:
If you’re buying multiple gifts, you’ll be asked two questions after payment for each gift:

1. Any dietary requirements

2. Child's name, their class and whom the gift is for

You can purchase all gifts in one transaction — each gift will be linked to the correct child through these questions.

Please use this link to preorder your gifts;

Thanks to your generous donations, we’ve been able to create a new ‘Empathy Library’ in school. This special collection of books is here to support children as they navigate difficult situations or emotions, helping them understand themselves and others with more kindness and compassion.

These books explore important topics like loss, disability, poverty, racism, and prejudice. They help children see the world through different eyes, respect differences, and care about people and the planet.

There’s also a special section with stories that help young readers understand and talk about their feelings.
