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. All parents, carers and friends are 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.

Playground Gazebo
This was installed in October 2025 and the children love it! This is a calm space for playtimes, children can spend time with their friends, read a book, etc. Not every child chooses to run around at playtimes so school feels hugely fortunate to have this new addition to their playground. The gazebo cost £10,390. PFTA fundraising, the school's sponsored event in March 2025 and a £5,000 grant from Weldon Parish Council enabled school to purchase this. A HUGE thank you to everyone for your support.
EYFS Outdoor Classroom equipment:
Thank you for supporting our fundraising, our PFTA purchased EYFS outdoor classroom equipment at a cost of £5300
Wish List 2025/26:
Our PFTA committee have agreed to raise funds to order of 30 laptops for the computer room. These will be used by every child in school during their IT lessons. A generous donation of £2,500 from Willowbrook Construction contributed towards this purchase.
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.
The Reading Shed is still very much on the school wish list, they were promised substantial building developer funding for this. The school's Finance Business Partner is working hard to make this project happen.
Events/Meetings:
Our next fundraisers are an Easter disco on Thursday 26th March and Summer Disco on Thursday 16th July, watch out for posters with the full details.
Our meetings and events are on the school calendar and newsletters; we are only a small committee now so the PFTA have agreed that there will be no PFTA June Rose Day event after the school dancing, instead school suggested a picnic for families to enjoy together. However, if you would like to offer to run a stall, like a tuck shop or BBQ, please come along to this meeting to pledge your support.
