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 on Thursday 1st May at 7.30pm, 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

EYFS Outdoor Classroom equipment:

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

 Our PFTA met on 6th March and our committee agreed an 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.

Our PFTA is now fundraising for a playtime gazebo, estimated cost £10,000. The sponsored run monies will start this off so thank you for your support!

Our next fundraisers are an Easter disco on Thursday 3rd April and an Easter Tombola on Friday 4th April, watch out for posters with the full details.

We are delighted that the new EYFS equipment sheds we recently bought are being used every day! The final shed, a reading shed, got delivered on Wednesday and Mrs Gribben is  excited to get this constructed and in use.

Our next meeting of our PFTA will be on Thursday 1st May at 7.30pm. June Rose Day will be on this meeting agenda; we are only a small committee now so the PFTA have agreed that there will be no PFTA 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. 

Wish List March 2025:

30 laptops - monies raised + order approved, delivery should be before Easter 2025

Playtime Gazebo - the sponsored event will go towards our £10,000 target for this

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.

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.
