PTFA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The annual general meeting took place this week. Our thanks go to Nicky Shore who
has now stepped down as Chairperson. Nicky has contributed a great deal during her
time as Chair and has thrown herself into fundraising for the school for which we are
very grateful. The new committee is as follows:
Chair
Secretary
Treasurer
Jan Gormley (Jude & Keir)
Eve Marsh (Cooper)
Julie Barber (Sophia)
Thank you to Julie Barber for agreeing to carry on the role of Treasurer and to Jan
Gormley and Eve Marsh for volunteering to step back into their roles. We are confident
they will all do a wonderful job of continuing the work of the PTFA. Any help and
support from other parents would be very much appreciated. Dates for forthcoming
events will follow in the near future.
HEAD LICE
We have a case of head lice in the school. We would appreciate it if you could please
check your child’s hair carefully over the weekend and treat appropriately to avoid any
further cases. Thank you.
BOTTLE TOPS
We are in need of bottle tops to complete our collage. We now just need GOLD tops to
add the finishing touches so please bring any that you may have into school. These can
be handed in to the school office.
LOST KEYS
Some keys have been handed in, found on our staff car park.

FOOD BANK
Following on from our Harvest donations to Food Bank we have decided that as a school
and church together we would like to make regular contributions to this worthy cause.
After the half term break there will be a box in the reception for donations of food
items e.g. tinned vegetables, fruit juice, jam, cereals, pasta sauces etc. There will be
a list of suitable foods with the box. These will then be delivered on a regular basis to
Food Bank by Revd. Kareen.
We urge parents to get involved and make regular
contributions. Thank you.
