Everything goes into one shared fund, giving the PTA flexibility to direct it where it’s needed most. Below you’ll find more details on the KS2 playground and the annual school priorities we fund each year.
The major long-term ambition that every extra pound can help unlock. Once annual priorities are covered, additional fundraising can go towards a significant KS2 playground improvement — the longer-term project that shows the difference between annual enrichment and transformative capital-style improvements.
Annual school priorities
A gardener works 8 hours a week across 39 weeks, giving every year group from Reception to Year 6 a hands-on gardening session each half term — 401 children in total. Children learn about the environment and sustainability, grow the food they eat, and understand the health benefits of fruit and vegetables. Each half term builds on insect–plant learning and investment in growing food. The school's business manager says: "This is an integral part of how we want the school to run and how we hope for it to continue to do so."

A specialist drama teacher runs weekly sessions for 180 children in Years 3–5, building confidence, diction, physicality, and presentation skills. Afternoon focus groups support 13–15 children per year group, primarily those on the Pupil Premium register. Pupils report dramatic gains in confidence and spoken English, with internal data showing accelerated progress. Each class in Years 3 and 4 has a weekly session with rich texts, prose, and poetry; afternoon groups receive additional tuition. The school's business manager says: "Without external funding the school budget is unable to sustain this very worthwhile provision."

A Nursery pilot supporting five families through play-based cooking sessions, two fully funded local excursions, and take-home storybooks and resources. It targets children likely to be in the lowest 20% attaining and families at risk of early disengagement, building communication, parent confidence, and connection to school. Based on a successful programme at Rushmore School and facilitated by Boil & Bubble; if the pilot succeeds, it expands into a two-year programme across Nursery and Reception. Cooking sessions model responsive communication; local excursions extend community beyond the classroom. The business manager says: "This project is very unlikely to happen without PTA financial support."

Help ensure children can take part when a little extra support is needed. This quieter fund makes sure children can join important residential and trip experiences when families need support — fundraising for access and inclusion, not only enhancements.

Author visits and online sessions for Years 2–6 foster a love of reading and creative writing. We book authors the children have actually read, and prioritise diversity to show pupils that people of all backgrounds can flourish in creative writing — at least one visit per year group each year. Visits help children see being an author as something real and achievable, not just words on a page, and they enrich the curriculum significantly. Author visits benefit pupils across EYFS, KS1, and KS2. The business manager notes: "This enriched the school's curriculum last year and would do so again this year. We will not have the budget for this without the PTA's support."
