What your organisation does

We are a group of elected parents and staff who organise fundraising events throughout the school year. Our main fundraising event is the Christmas fair but we also run other events which vary from year to year. Examples include a sponsored walk, party day, providing refreshments at sports day and designing Christmas cards. We support the school

and the families of pupils within the school in whatever way we can. Alongside the school we agree the expenditure of funds so that they will be used to purchase educational resources or equipment for all the pupils in the school.
