As you may have read last week, the PTFA has already raised £20,000 this year academic year.
During the last couple of PTFA meetings, parents have been suggesting some ideas of how we should be spending the money and then putting them forward to the school.
At the most recent PTFA meeting, Mr Dunmall had made a couple of bids, based on parent feedback, for projects that he would like the PTFA to fund. Here are two that were outlined:
1) As parents/students will remember, last summer was extremely hot and many children struggled with the unbearable heat at break/lunchtimes. So, the first bid is to create some shaded areas on the school playing field.
The design of these shaded areas is expected to complement the plans for the all-weather playing field that is currently in consultation stage with parents and local residents.
2) The second bid is for an 'Artist in Residence' to support annual Year 2 values-based art work, which would take place during the summer term. This was something that both the school and parents believe is important to add value to pupils learning and experience at the school.
There are a couple of other suggestions being circulated and we will talk about these next week.
