PFTA

Our school has a very supportive Parents, Friends and Teachers Association (PFTA) and they work as volunteers to help fundraise and support school events.

The next PFTA Committee Meeting will be held be in November, date to be confirmed. All parents, carers and friends welcome to join.

We would love to see some new faces on the PFTA, the meetings are relaxed and sociable and it is a good way to meet new people and get involved in the fun activities happening in school.

You can contact our PFTA by email at: pftaweldonce@gmail.com

Our PFTA met on 9th October and we welcomed a new Treasurer, thank you to Paul Bartrum for volunteering to take on this role.

Our committee discussed events for the forthcoming year, here are the dates to pop in your diaries:

Friday 5th December—non-uniform day in exchange for a donation to our Christmas tombola stall

Friday 12th December—Christmas Fair  from 3.45pm

Thursday 18th December—Xmas Disco Night

Thursday 26th Mar—Easter Disco Night

Thursday 16th July  - Summer Disco

Flyers will be sent home nearer to the event dates. Volunteers to share the workload of an event will always be greatly appreciated so please do get in touch early.

Our committee is only a small handful of working parents so if you have a fundraising idea and would like to take the lead organising an event or a stall at a PFTA event then please get in touch with Mrs Middleton. Our PFTA volunteers can supports with floats, and helping hands, etc.

Our current funds are £4,000 and our target is £8,000 to purchase 30 new IT notebook devices for use by all children in their computer lessons. Do you have an employer who may make a donation and help us reach our target sooner? Please consider approaching them. We received a donation from Willowbrook Construction, this was an amazing boost to our target.

Playground Gazebo - installed September 2025

Thank you to our PFTA for contributing £5,000 towards our new playground gazebo, this is our new calm zone for playtimes.

EYFS Outdoor Classroom equipment - delivered June 2025

Thank you to our PFTA for approval of the purchase of new equipment at a cost of £5300

Wish List October 2025:

30 chrome notebooks - cost £8,000 

All-purpose area inside of running track - this is a longer-term school wish; to be able to use an area of the field for playtimes in winter. This is a high-cost project and will need more than PFTA fundraising to achieve this. Costings are not yet done.

Thank you to Insert Engineering Ltd for donating a giant Easter egg to our school, we will use this for an Easter Raffle. 

This donation has come with huge thanks to Paul and Emma Morris-Miller.
