Fundraising Summary 2025-2026
We are delighted to share that, thanks to the incredible support and fundraising efforts of our PTA, The Den is now complete and ready for use.
The Den will provide a valuable additional learning space for children across the school. This versatile environment can be used for a wide range of purposes, including small-group work, interventions, pastoral support, enrichment activities and outdoor learning opportunities.
This exciting addition will enhance the learning experience for all children, providing a flexible and engaging space that supports a variety of educational and wellbeing needs.
A huge thank you to our PTA and everyone who supported their fundraising events. Your generosity and commitment have helped create a wonderful new resource that will benefit our children for many years to come.
There is never a shortage of requests for new equipment, all things that benefit the children at The Orchard, so our fundraising efforts continue. For the PTA to be a success we need parents to be involved. How can you help?
- Please volunteer at events, whether to set up, clear up or man a stall for an hour. In the past few years we have hosted:
- a Leap-a-thon where the children had a great time leaping on a bouncy castle for sponsorship from friends and family.
- A break the rules day where the children could pay to break 10 rules they usually have to follow at school!
- Mothers Day and Father's Day Golden Ticket chocolate bar sales
- Krispy Kreme doughnut sales and year group bake sales
- Easter Egg hunts
- Discos for Halloween and Easter where fancy dress is encouraged for an hour long fun with a DJ and games
- Contribute to the Christmas and Summer Fairs; bottle and chocolates on the mufti days, lucky jars and 2nd hand goods are also important. Can you help with other donations and prizes, or put us in touch with people that can?
- Bake cakes for the cake sales and bring a donation to buy some! All money raised from cake sales is given directly to the teachers of that year to buy extra resources for their classrooms.
- Come to the PTA meetings, we welcome fresh ideas and want everyone to feel involved.
