We can’t really believe it’s the last term of the year either but here we are! We thought we’d use the blog this week to tell you about the plans for this term and some recent funding commitments that we have agreed with the school.
There are 3 main things happening this term that you need to know about:
1. TEA TOWELS!
This is a popular activity whereby the children draw self-portraits which the PTA miraculously turn into bespoke tea towels for each year group. You can BUY NOW on the EVENTS PAGE of this website. Sale ends until 18th June and they will be given to your child by the end of term. One tea towel is £4 or you can get 3 for £10.
2. SUMMER FETE!
Roll up! Roll up! For Claremont’s first ever Covid-secure in-school children-only summer fete! We will be planning some of the usual summer fete activities for the children in the last week of term. Each year group will get a dedicated time slot to visit the summer fete on either 12th or 13th July. More information will follow how you can donate to support this event. We would also love MORE VOLUNTEERS to help plan and run the event so if you’re able to help, however small or large, please email claremonttwpta@gmail.com .
3. ONLINE SECOND HAND UNIFORM SALES - Back by popular demand!
Donation mornings: 28th June & 20th July, School field, Banner Farm Rd.
Online sales: 3rd/4th July (for collection 8th July) and 4th/5th September (for collection 9th Sept).
Please save the dates & check our website and social media for more details.
FUNDING COMMITMENTS:
This year, the PTA has committed £16,773 to the school:
- £15,000 for critical I.T. provision.
- £1,400 “classroom contribution” so each class teacher has £100 they can spend as they need to, on items for their classroom.
- £361 subsidy for the Year 6 year book.
- £12 emergency provisions from the Year 6 trip.
We couldn’t have done this without you so THANK YOU for your continued support!
