The PTA Committee is bustling with activity, diligently planning events, exploring grant opportunities, and finding creative ways to fundraise while keeping the load manageable for parents and guardians. We'll take you behind the scenes in this February newsletter with an exciting update.
Get ready for our first Stay and Play - 08/03 starting at 8:15 am.
Let's come together for a brilliant community-building opportunity! Parents, grandparents and extended family are invited. Whether you're joining or not, RSVP <here> today to help us plan accordingly.
What to expect?
Fox and Bear Coffee Bar are joining the event to sell hot drinks and pastries. Cake Crumbs (@cakecrumbs2018) will sell loaf cake and biscuits. They kindly agreed to share their profits to support our projects. Join us for breakfast, and let's fundraise together for the benefit of our children. To add a touch of fun, Énergy Fitness - Chingford Gym will host yoga, HIT, and circuit classes – open to all family members!
Join us for a healthy and enjoyable time together! Details on our website.
Visit the PTA stand on 07/03 and 08/03 from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
for delightful pocket money gifts.
Don't miss out on the sweet treats specially designed for Mother’s Day from Cake Crumbs (@cakecrumbs2018) on 08/03. Be sure to send your little ones with pocket money to surprise you on Mother’s Day!

Grant Applications.
We need your support! With just 1 hour of your time, we could secure over 50k in grants. We aim to enhance the early years playground, create a sensorial play area, establish a new library and reading space, implement a kitchen garden, promote outdoor learning, and create memorabilia. Let's work together to enrich the school experience and leave a lasting impact on future generations. Contact us to lend your support to our grant applications!
We applied for TESCO (£1500) and Woodland Trust (free trees) so far. But we are in the process of applying for the Heritage Fund Grant (£10k). Please keep your fingers crossed for us!
