Wish List October 2024:

Reading materials for every class

We would like to purchase age-appropriate reading materials and the scheme the school has chosen allows three reading ability levels within each Year Group. Cost for whole school = £1500

Classroom furniture

The School received a £5,000 grant from Weldon Parish Council which allowed them to upgrade Year R and Year 1. Our PFTA would like to now purchase tables and chairs for Year 2 to Year 5 and chairs for Year 6. Cost per class £1280 tables (16 tables) and £896 chairs (32 chairs) = £2176 per class

Reflection Garden

After completing the purchase of items 1 and 2 above, our next PFTA fundraising project will be a reflection area on the field. An area with seating, a bird table, sensory planting, etc. Costings are not yet done.

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.
