In the last fourteen months other grants have included £500 for a printing press for the Art Department, £177 for microscopes in the Junior School and £200 for scooters for Bronte. A full list of awards is printed below.

 Wietske Hendriksen, Chairman of the PTA said : “We’ve always known that the PTA is good at raising funds for the school, but it was not until we started adding up these amounts that we realised how much was actually raised over the past year. This is a fantastic result!”
 

Headmaster David Ward added :  “ I am delighted so many clubs, activities, social events and trips are supported and funded by the PTA enabling staff to offer an enhance and broad curriculum.”

 The PTA is always looking for new committee members both to help organise events to raise funds for projects such as these, and to have a say in the running of their child’s school. If you would like to join please contact Wietske or any other committee member via the contacts page of the PTA’s webpages on the school website.
