Parents Group Newsletter

Dear Parents/Guardians

Welcome to our newsletter. Over the past year , COVID 19 has severely restricted our ability to organise fundraising events. We hope that things will be better in this academic year 2021/22 when we can all enjoy getting together and supporting our school.

Fundraising

Our main objective in the past few years has been to assist the school in raising enough to fund the installation of new interactive whiteboards for each classroom. These are estimated to come at a cost of approximately £3000 each, this is a huge task and we are delighted that all our classes now have new boards installed .

We are always trying to source new funding avenues to help meet the challenges facing all schools at the moment regarding finance. Additional funding makes such a difference to what we can achieve and provide for our pupils. If any parents or guardians are aware of any funding sources we might not know of please do contact us to let us know.
