Welcome to Lowercroft Primary School PTA (Charity number: 1176048)
Everyone linked to the school automatically becomes part of our PTA. We encourage you to get involved in any way you can, whether that be through helping out on a stall at an event, delivering leaflets, helping to plan an event, creating posters, setting up at events… the list is endless! There really is a task for everyone.
We raise a huge amount of much-needed money for the school. As always, any help, ideas or support are greatly appreciated, as are new helpers!! We would love to see you soon...
The PTA sees a natural turnover of parents each year. We have an appointed PTA committee and we are delighted to welcome the following people into the roles below:-
PTA Leaders :
Sarah Faulkner - Chair
Claire Haworth - Secretary
Darren Ayres - Treasurer
See us in the playground!
We would like to thank the out-going PTA committee members Amy Bunnell (treasurer) & Becky Smith (Co-Chair) who have supported the PTA over the last 2 years
Fundraising objectives:
The PTA work closely with the school to raise money for any items not covered by school budgets. Mrs Farr & Mrs McGadie keep us informed of the exciting plans for the children and where the PTA can help develop the projects that benefit them.
Items the PTA have bought for the school include:
• Cameras
• Ipads
• Fantastic interactive whiteboards
• Subscription to Maths app
• Class Books
• Topic Boxes (These are our current focus)
Ways we raise funds
Grant applications
The school and the PTA look out for local and national grants that we can apply for to aid the school in its projects. We have been successful in obtaining several grants recently from the Co-op and Morrisons.
EasyFundraising
As we all continue to feel the financial pinch, our PTA is finding new ways and means of continuing our fundraising, and we’ve found the perfect solution – Easyfundraising.
Easyfundraising partner with over 7,000 brands, so we can earn free money from everyday online spending. It’s simple, whenever someone shops online, the brand shares a percentage of their purchase with our PTA for free. It’s the brand's way of saying thank you for shopping with them. This creates a year-round funding stream our PTA can use to cover school trips, resources, technology, and more. We appreciate that everyone is looking after the pennies, but this is a great way to support our School and your child if you are already online shopping. Sign up here:
You can raise funds for our school each time you shop online.
