PSA Changes

We are very thankful for all the hard work Mel Joyce has put in as Chair of the PSA. At the end of the Summer Term Mel will be standing down and handing over the role of PSA Chair to Helen Jones (current Vice Chair). Alex King will become the new Vice Chair. We wish them well.

We are very thankful to the Reception parents Alex King, Camilla Slattery and Jeni Delves who have filled the Christmas Fair co-ordinator vacancies.

Easy Fundraising

We also do Easy Fundraising where money you spend shopping online goes to the PSA with no cost to you. The shops include thousands of retailers from Amazon, Asda and Argos to Ebay, Tesco, Boots and M&S.

The 200 Club

The 200 Club is a lottery which generates a steady income to the PSA, whilst giving members a chance to win a cash prize each month. If you would like to join the club, forms are available from the school office and at PSA events. James Tuson won £25.50 in May and Sally Flint won £25.50 in June.

Items for hire

The PSA has a number of items available for hire, e.g. the tug of war rope, chocolate fountain and a small bouncy castle (donations to be made to the PSA).
