PTA

Please remember the Easyfundraising link as a way to support the PTA when you are making all kinds of purchases.

Introduction to The PTA

All Parents, Guardians & Staff are members of the PTA, and are welcome to any committee meetings.

News

Thank you to everyone who downloaded the Asda Rewards app and signed up to “cashpot for schools” for us. Thanks to your shopping and scanning your reward app we will receive £187.81 from Asda.

Things that we have spent some of the money raised on include over £10k on new whiteboards for all classrooms, £1,549 for the new school website encouraging more families to choose Wanborough Primary School, we have also agreed to fund the coaches to take the Children to the pantomime, and to fund the Christmas Crackers for the school Christmas dinners

Fundraising targets

One of the items that that the school has asked us to raise money for is the replacement of the SMART white boards in each of the classrooms. These are aging and are not working as well as they could be, plus there must have been huge advances in technology since we last purchased the boards. We of course would love to find this, and have said we will, it is thought that replacement and installation of all the white boards in all the classrooms will be around £10,000 so as always, every penny counts. So every time you buy a beer or some food, play a game, buy a ticket, have your face painted or get a tattoo know that the money you have given us will go towards these white boards or other valuable experiences.

Talking about spending the PTA raised funds recently we have spent some of the funds raised in ensuring that all the children had first aid training from the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. The children enjoyed the workshops and were thoroughly engaged in the age-appropriate skills and information. We feel the training that they received was invaluable, and we hope they came home and told you all about it. In addition to this earlier in the year to celebrate Science Week we used some of the PTA funds to purchase Science Workshops for all the Children which we are told they loved, as well as purchasing some Lego sets for Lego therapy.

Donate whilst you shop

Are you signed up to Easyfundraising?

Easyfundraising offers an easy, accessible and continual way for us to raise free funds.

Big brands like Tesco, Amazon, M&S and 7,000 others want to give back to schools. When someone shops at one of these brands online, the brand will donate a percentage of what you spend to the PTA. It's like using a cashback site but the funds come to the PTA rather than an individual.

Once you have signed up to Easyfundraising this is how it works: you want to buy new shoes for your kids, instead of heading directly to the Clark's website, you head to the Easyfundraising website or app first and then click on the Clark's link. Once the purchase is made because you went to Easyfundraising first, we will receive a percentage of your spend directly... It's easy!
