3 Chair's Report:

Welcomed two new members to PTFA - Erin Wesley and

Lucy Lehane.

May Festival

Thank you to everyone that helped.

Raffle

Brook Beauty sent a voucher after the May Festival. As it

is valid for 12 months, it will be used at the Christmas

fair.

Movie Night

Money and reply slips are flowing in. Robeka is

organising the tick list for pupils going to the movie

night.

Current status - 72 pupils

General Housekeeping

Inventory has been updated after the May festival.

Facebook is being regularly updated by Robeka, Rebecca

& Clare.

RJM

Need a list of events or expectations to be supplied from

the school, for events such as bonfire night?

4 Feedback and Review of May Festival :

Stalls along the classroom were a good idea but a PA

system would be useful to keep people informed of

dates.

Move refreshments away from BBQ to help reduce

queues. BBQ ran out of food, so more needs to be

ordered for Bonfire night and Christmas. Assess again

after events.

Donations were very generous, so Becky and Robeka

organised a tombola that was very successful.

The weather did cause people to leave and the money

reflects this.

5 Future Events

a. Movie Night

It was decided to use candy striped paper bag for

popcorn. Drinks are needed, so cup drinks were chosen.

This seemed the safest way to reduce spillages.

Parents/guardians are requested to notify if their

children cannot have refreshments. They can bring their

own. Robeka will give Ms Clay details of those children.

They will be given yellow cards.

Children will be split into two halls. This will be decided,

when numbers are confirmed for classes.

Younger children are watching 'sing' and older children

'angry birds'.

Teachers will ensure that the children going to movie

night, go to the toilet before classes end.

Ms Harris will be on toilet duty.

RJM & RC

Pip will buy popcorn and drinks before the event from

Bookers. Robeka has sent numbers of cup drinks from

inventory.

Drinks and popcorn will be left on tables to collect when

children arrive.

No refills.

Three or four helpers will be needed per hall.

Teachers will come at the end of the film to help dismiss

children.

b. Father's day breakfast

PTFA have been asked to help with serving teas and

coffees. We will need to arrive at 7.30 am to help set up.

Clear up will be from 8.30am to be ready for 9am School

assembly.

c. Summer BBQ

Mark cannot attend the BBQ on Friday 30th June. As the

date has been released on the school newsletter, we will

go ahead with the event.

NH

PG

Becky will write a letter about the BBQ. It will request

that parents/guardians complete the reply slip to show

interest in attending. This will help with quantities of

food. They can bring their own food and blankets to

have a picnic.

It was decided to set up on the field at the end of the

school day. This will hopefully encourage more passing

trade.

d. End of Term Disco

Date confirmed as 20th July. Tickets and letters will be

arranged by the office. PTFA will organise volunteers for

during the disco.

e. Options for other Summer Events

With the current construction on site, a car boot sale

would not be easily set up. This will be postponed to a

later date.

f. Fireworks Night

RJH

Fireworks booked for November 2nd. PTFA to organise

Gumbles and BBQ/Refreshments. Pip will get glow sticks

etc.

g. Date for Christmas Fayre

A date of Saturday 2nd December has been set.

6 Options for after school meetings:

Current meetings are on Thursday eve & Tuesday at 9

am. It was discussed, if to have alternating daytime

meetings. One at 9am & other straight after school.

Many hearts is available on Friday afternoons.

Attendance/Agenda

Attendance – Gemma Collins, Caroline Skingsley, Pip Gilbert, Louise Lane, Harriet Squirrel, Nicola Harris, Michaela Viola, Tracy Wilson and Claire Peck. Agenda – Treasurers report, update on events, requests for purchases, helpers/volunteers and re-relection.

Treasurers Report

The movie night we held made £380.00 – we had over 300 children attend this event. With ticket’s being sold at £1.50 this does imply that a fair few had not paid. Costs for the popcorn were £38.30 Balance left in the PTFA fund at present of meeting is £5353

Meeting Discussions - Upcoming events and dates (some TBC)

Movie Night As mentioned above £380 was made, but due to the fact a lot of different didn’t pay we really did lose out on over £100. In future we need to find a better or more easier way for collections in the office to be handled. The cost of the popcorn was £38.30 so over all we made a profit of £341.70 which is still a fantastic amount for very little out going. We had ordered too much popcorn but it was trial and error for first time. There were a lot of complaints from the parents due to pick up however due to limited help we were unable to fix this at the time. Michaela Viola is sourcing teachers help so we can take year groups back to their classes for pick ups to hopefully run more smoothly next time. We have also extended the time so that we can have an interval so children can have a break for toilet etc. The next date will be Friday 16th June from 3.20-5.30pm. PTFA Fund Requests

- Science Dome for year 3 cost around £510 which has been done for the whole day rather than half day previous years. Due to the cost we may have to reconsider if we can now do this annually.

- Funding has been requested by Michaela Viola for year 5 to have an awesome science trolley costing £1500 we have committed to get this ready for September.

- Tracy Wilson has requested again for t-shirts for the May festival. Previous two years we have done it for the school’s special 50th birthday and Queens special birthday. We had really said we wouldn’t do again due to the high cost. But this time is for the progression from school to primary. The children will all get to design and then the winner will get their picture printed onto the tops for the whole school. The cost of this is roughly £1800.

Page 2

PTFA Re-Elections As chair for over 18 months a lot of hard work has been put into all events and a lot of money has been raised, more so to previous years which is fantastic and I am very pleased. However, it is time for me to step down due to personal reasons. So we are looking for a new Chair. Also our Secretary Hayley Hunt has had to step down due to work commitments so we are also looking for a replacement. A letter will be sent out soon and if you are interested in these please come along to the next meeting. Details below. Event Dates These dates are all mainly all confirmed.

- Family Photoshoot Day - Easter Disco – Friday 31st March - Easter Hunt – Monday 3rd April - May Festival – Saturday 20th May - Family BBQ – Friday 30th June - End Of School Year Disco (TBC) – Friday 14th July

(all years no longer Leaver’s Disco as no leaver’s as such yet) Mother’s Day We do not do an event for this but the school do. Two Fridays near Mother’s Day (Friday 17th and Friday 25th March) there is an afternoon tea from 2pm. The school would really appreciate some helpers. So if you can help from like 1.45pm onwards then please could you let us know. If you could help out with one or either would be very helpful thank you. Easter Egg Hunt Easter Egg Hunt is on Monday 3rd April the last day before they break up. It needs around 3 helpers and can take a while as it involves each class coming down one by one to hunt for the eggs. Classes will have time slots throughout the afternoon starting from 12.45pm for the youngest. Helpers needed from around 12.15pm please. To be held in pirate ship area. Pre-school to sort their own out within their environment and own time scale. Eggs have been ordered but not the chocolate. Gemma to fill prior to event.

Next Meeting

Thursday 30th March 2017 at 7pm. Please come along and spread the word!!

3 Chair's Report:

RH thanked everybody for their continued support with

the PTFA

May Festival

20 vouchers were raised for the raffle.

Tombola for cakes was a good success

Movie Night

This event was very popular and the drinks cups worked

very well.

It was noted that children became restless towards the

end of the film and it was suggested that shorter films

would be shown to give the children a quick rest break in

between.

BBQ

Very successful event which raised a lot of funds.

Ice Pop Stall

The first event was very successful and ice pops sold very

quickly.

However, the second event was not as successful. This

may be due to people being unaware of the stall and not

having money with them

Family Quiz Night

To be held on 19th October

MV to set the questions.

Everybody welcome

CS thanked the new PTFA team for their commitment

and hard work.

3 Chair's Report:

The Father’s Day shop has been the most recent event

and around 200 children bought gifts for their dads. The

children seemed to really enjoy it and it was much easier

than Mother’s Day due to good organisation and having

a better idea of how it was going to run. JD commented

that Scott Primary school buy directly after Father’s Day

when the items are reduced. They also wrap everything

in advance and then leave an example of each item for

the children to see and choose from. This does sound

like a good idea but storage is a problem for us as we

only have a small cupboard which still has music

equipment and dance items in it. CS to speak to the

music department about removing the rest of their

equipment.

The pamper evening has been very slow on ticket sales

but it’s hoped that people will buy nearer the time. To

be sold outside school again this week. Alcohol at the

pamper evening is to be sold via raffle tickets and then a

licence, which is £21, is not required. We are looking at

sale and return for the alcohol.

There is a possibility that we will also have a soft drinks

tombola.

It is hoped that some of the people who are having stalls

for the pamper evening might come back for the

Christmas fair.

Over all the Chairs were happy with last terms events

and CS thanked the PTFA for all their hard work on the

May festival and the Mother’s Day shop.

CS

4 Future Events

Summer BBQ/Car Boot Sale

This is to be held on 7th

July at 1pm. Cars will be on the

playground and in the car park and can arrive from

12pm. Discussion held around price per car as it was

initially suggested at £10 but this was felt to be too

expensive as there are several car boots held in the local

area. It was decided that it would be £5 per car and no

entry fee. We also discussed increasing the price of the

food to make some more money but this was decided

against.

Toilets to be used in either the music block or conifer as

the internal doors can be locked ensuring only access to

the toilets is available.

Discussion held on additional attractions that could be

invited – pony rides, Mr Gumball and an ice-cream van.

All agreed this needs to be done asap as it’s not far

away.

Father’s Day Breakfast

Volunteers needed to help – 7.30am start.

End of Year Disco

19th July - RMH to confirm.

Two sittings - 5.45pm-6.45pm Key Stage 1 and 7-8pm

Key Stage 2. Not reception.

Fireworks

Date agreed of 1.11.18

Christmas Fair

Date and time arranged for 1.12.18 - 11.30am-2.30pm. It

was decided that we need to promote the grotto more

this year as it was not as successful last year as hoped.

2 Treasurer's Report:

During the academic year 2017/18 we have raised

£10,224.31 which is up by 13.2% on last year. The

expenditure was also up by 18.0% on last year to

£8,633.43.

Planned Expenditure

Fireworks £2000

3 Chair's Report:

Over all the Chairs were happy with last year’s events -

they generated a good amount of income for the PTFA

and we tried several new events.

Quiz night, Mother’s and Father’s Day shops and the

pamper evening were all successful events although

could have small improvements to increase profit – for

example, a hot plate for the quiz so that we can sell

more food. The selling of alcohol via raffle tickets

worked very well and a plan to do this with mulled wine

for the Christmas fayre was put forward.

The car boot sale did not work well at all and although

this may have been due to the fact that it clashed with

an England football match there are still no plans to

repeat this.

There have been some comments from people about

changing the days/evenings to get more people involved

but we have tried a variety of different times and days.

There is a plan to get the year 5 and 6 children more

involved by asking them to volunteer for roles within

events – e.g., being elves at the Christmas fayre.

Other future events discussed were movie nights,

games night and year 6 leavers disco.

Some of the car boot people are coming back for free as

they had so little interest at the car boot sale.

Santa has been confirmed as attending! We need to

advertise him more this year and might have year 5 and

6 children dressed as elves to guide people to him.

Suggested that we could make a programme with event

information and a map of the stalls with a prize draw on

the day if the programme is brought back with your

name on it.

Ideas for entertainment – choir, song squad, street

dance and orchestra.

6 Request for funding

The football teams are expanding and there are now

active teams in years 4,5 and 6. They have requested

£250 for football kits – all agreed.

Request letter sent in for money for outside area for

reception. They would like a cube of soft play toys which

costs £300. They have already raised funds to weather

proof the barn and bought one cube themselves – all

agreed.

All further funds raised this year will be going to the Trim

Trail for which we are raising £5000.

7 School Travel Plan

There is a working party reviewing the current school

travel plans. If we could all think of things that could

improve travel to and from school and bring any ideas to

£250 for football kits – all agreed.

Request letter sent in for money for outside area for

reception. They would like a cube of soft play toys which

costs £300. They have already raised funds to weather

proof the barn and bought one cube themselves – all

agreed.

All further funds raised this year will be going to the Trim

Trail for which we are raising £5000.

7 School Travel Plan

There is a working party reviewing the current school

travel plans. If we could all think of things that could

improve travel to and from school and bring any ideas to

the next meeting that would be appreciated.

PTFA Thursday 30th March 2017

7pm Redwood Classroom

For some time now we have been requesting volunteers to help in supporting the school’s PTFA. We have tried different methods to recruit new committee members but so far we have been unsuccessful.

I am calling on you to support your schools PTFA please. Without the PTFA the following events will be CANCELLED this year. EASTER EGG HUNT CHILDREN’S TERMLY DISCOS MAY FESTIVAL FIREWORKS NIGHT FATHER CHRSTAMS VISIT TO THE SCHOOL CHRISTMAS FAYRE We have always paid for various things around the school such as insulation and heating in reading huts on playground, basketball hoops, sports award evening, gymnastic uniform, annual may festival t-shirts, space domes for year 3 and much more. So come and join us on Thursday 30th March at 7pm Future times and days of meetings can be flexible.

No previous experience needed just enthusiasm!! We are having RE-ELECTIONS for the following PTFA board committee. - CHAIR - SECRETARY (TAKING NOTES AT MEETINGS ETC)

These are big roles that do take up some of your spare time but it is manageable and very fun and rewarding to be able to help the school. The committee needs a minimum of 7 volunteers to be able to continue.

Yours sincerely Gemma Collins Headteacher
