The PTA have recently funded some fantastic resources and experiences for our pupils to enjoy. This week they funded the Xplore Science show which was enjoyed by all children. Thank you for providing this opportunity.
They have recently purchased:
- 10 more ipads to add to our class sets, meaning that each class can have the latest technology and enough for all pupils.
- A class group set of Bee-Bots, meaning that elements of the KS1 computing curriculum can be taught with more up to date technology. They are used most weeks and are proving to be a great success.
- New dictionaries for all KS2 pupils. These will be be a gift to the children and will be theirs to keep when they leave us. This will be repeated every year to ensure that pupils have a usable, thoughtful gift to take away with them.
- Reception new starter school bags. From next academic year onwards, pupils will have their book bags bought for them and these will be the only bags expected in school. These are the first gifts for the children and will prove really useful throughout their school life.
The PTA also contribute towards each school trip, the costs of the buses are heavily subsidised. In some cases this funding is the difference between trips going ahead or not as the cost of coaches at the moment is absolutely huge. It can be £200 for a return trip just to Market Drayton!
The PTA are a small team who always need extra support, if you could offer support, no matter how small please see one of the representatives, information on our website PTA page.
