Sponne PFA

Welcome to the PFA section of the website. Sponne School PFA exist to raise funds for the school to purchase items for the direct benefit of students. The Committee is made up of a mix of parents and school staff which helps to ensure good communication between fund raising activities and funding requests. The School Council are also involved in helping decide what the students need in terms of projects and equipment. The School Shop is administered by the school mangement team and any profits from the shop are also used for student benefit.

In the recent past funds raised by the PFA have purchased the following:-

School minibus, lighting for school drama/music productions, equipment for the drama studio, atlases for home use and a new electronic piano. We are currently reviewing options for providing some more outdoor seating and covered areas for students to use at lunchtime.

The majority of our funds at present comes from raffles, profit from refreshment provision at events, match funding by local employers and the Treasure Trove scheme. Please help the school by supporting PFA fund raising events - if every family purchased just one book of raffle tickets we would raise over £2000 alone! Our average fund raising for the last 2 years has been approximately £2,500 per year. This year to date, thanks to match funding from Santander we have raised just over £4,000.

If you would like to join the PFA Volunteer list, if your company or employer offer match funding or if you are interested in joining the Committee please contact Lisa Gordon in the School Office. Email:- lgordon@sponneschool.northants.sch.uk

Thank you

Dear Parents and Carers

I hope it’s not too late to wish you all a Happy New Year and congratulations to the winners of our Christmas Hampers raffle and the quiz winner who received a “Burns Night” themed hamper – well done and I hope you enjoyed them! We raised over £2000 during the autum term!

We, the Parents & Friends Association of Sponne School, exist to support school events, fundraise and provide a social link between parents. The requirement for extra funds to enhance the school experience for your child continues through secondary school and all monies raised benefit your child directly. As a registered charity we voluntarily run events to help purchase extra equipment and learning resources for the school. We’re all parents, carers etc. – people just like you who simply want to support their children’s school and have a bit of fun on the way!

We need people power! If you would like to help us by joining the committee, adding your name to our helpers list or simply by sharing some of your ideas - you can give as little or as much time as you have. It’s a great feeling to be able to help  our school achieve high standards and be proud to be a part of the team. If you haven’t made a new year’s resolution yet – maybe it could be to help support your school in some way in 2010.

If you would like any more information please contact Sponne School c/o PFA or Lisa Gordon lgordon@sponneschool.northants.sch.uk

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who already have helped in the past and continue to give your time.

Yours sincerely

Paula J Johnson
Chairperson PFA Sponne School
