Kelsale CEVC Primary School

We are finalising next years event calendar but here is a list of events we are hoping to do.

- School theatre trip

- Disco

- Colour run

- Elfridges

- Summer fete

And I'm sure much more alon the way!

As we come to the end of another fantastic school year, we wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on some of the wonderful events we have enjoyed together and thank you all for your continued support of the PTFA.

What a busy and successful year it has been! We started the year with our Autumn Disco, where it was wonderful to see the children dancing, laughing and having so much fun with their friends. We then welcomed the magic of Christmas with Elfridges and our Christmas Tree decorating project, with our beautifully decorated tree proudly displayed at St John's Church. It was lovely to see the children's creativity shining through and to be part of such a special community event.

This year also saw the return of some exciting favourites and new activities, including the Digathon, Movie Night, and our Decorate a Plant Pot for a Special Adult activity. It was heartwarming to see the pride on the children's faces as they created thoughtful gifts for someone special.

One of the highlights of the year was undoubtedly the Colour Run, which was packed with fun, laughter and plenty of colour! We also enjoyed a fantastic Summer Fete, which brought together families, staff and the wider community for a memorable afternoon. Watch this space for an even bigger and better summer fete next year! Alongside the children's events, our Adult Quiz Night was a great success and a wonderful opportunity for parents and friends to come together and enjoy an evening of friendly competition.

We hope many of you spotted the huge inflatables on Sports Day – they were a massive hit with the children and added an extra element of excitement to an already brilliant day thanks for the sports team at school.

Thanks to your incredible support, we have been able to raise valuable funds that directly benefit all of our children. This year, PTFA contributions have helped towards the reopening of our much-loved swimming pool, allowing all children to enjoy swimming opportunities. We have also funded a new water wall for the outdoor area and secured funding for the purchase of microphones to support learning across the school. These will play an important role in developing children's speaking and listening skills and align perfectly with the school's Oracy Vision.

We have also been delighted to provide the children with ice pops on Sports Day and during the recent heatwave, which were very gratefully received on those especially warm days!

Looking ahead, we are already busy discussing plans for next year and are currently exploring the possibility of organising a whole-school theatre trip. Watch this space for more information!

Finally, a huge thank you to all of our parents, carers, staff and supporters who have attended events, volunteered their time, donated prizes, and helped us raise money throughout the year. None of this would be possible without your generosity and enthusiasm.

We are always looking to welcome new members to our PTFA team, so if you would like to get involved, please speak to Mrs Barker, Mrs Jackson, or any member of the PTFA team. 

Our PTFA AGM will be taking place in the Autumn Term, and we would love to see some new faces there. It’s a great opportunity to find out more about what we do, share ideas for future events, and discover how you can get involved – whether you have lots of time to spare or just a little. We meet once a month at school on a Thursday, and everyone is welcome to come along and be part of our PTFA team.

Thank you once again for your support, and we wish all our families a wonderful summer break.
