WHAT IS THE SCHOOL ASSOCIATION?
All parents and guardians of pupils are automatically members of the Association. It is run by a committee made up of parents elected for a three year term at the AGM, a teacher and a governor, who meet several times a term.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To raise funds for additional equipment and resources for our children. To help and support the staff at a variety of school events. To provide additional links between the parents and teachers and add to feel of community within the school.

FUND RAISING EVENTS
We have several regular events during the school year, which include the Christmas and Summer Fayres, which between them raised £6,000 last year.

We also have an Easter Egg Raffle, and two discos in January and July, which the children love.

During the year we hold monthly cake sakes, with parents supplying the cakes on a rota basis. This usually raises around £40 for each class to spend on books and equipment.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
The SA sells a range of uniform at virtually cost price. Come and visit Kirsty and Rachel at the shop which is open every Wednesday morning (8.55-9.30am).  At the end of the 2008 school year the sale of uniforms raised £250 which was given to a couple of our after school clubs to buy kit and equipment.

SPENDING THE FUNDS
During the 2007/2008 financial year the SA raised approximately £9,000. The Committee liaises with the staff to decide upon the items to be purchased.

Each year the SA provides:

Scrapstore subscription
Reception book bags
Year 3 wallet folders
Year 6 leavers' books
Enrichment activities

In addition, last year the SA also donated:
£1,000 towards replacing the bark for the adventure playground
