3. / JM outlined to the committee the schools aspirations to develop an additional playground. This is to alleviate overcrowding on the current playgrounds, particuarly in the winter when the field cannot be used.
Some funding has already been raised and allocated towards this project, and JM is planning to commit Tesco funding too. With further funds needed the PTA committee were asked to consider committing to raising further funds towards the new playground in 2017/18. This was agreed.
4. / Future PTA events briefly discussed including: school discos, Christmas Fayre, Mufti Days and Bingo Nights. Some of these dates have already been fixed, with bookings made.
Mrs Mirams would also like the PTA to explore holding a car boot sale during this term.
