PSA DISCO

Many thanks for your support of the PSA discos. It was great to see the children having fun together, and we made a profit of around £600 for PSA funds to help the school. 

Particular thanks to the parents and staff who helped at the event. We really couldn't have done it without you!

PSA Scholastic Book Fair

Huge thanks to those families who attended our Scholastic Book Fair this week. We are very pleased to announce that due to over £400 worth of books being bought, the school will receive £175 of free books. This is a wonderful amount and will go a long way to buying new books for the school library. Thank you once again for your support.

News from the PSA - January 2024

2023 was a busy year for the PSA!

After a few necessarily quieter years, we were determined to fill 2023 with events, not only to raise much needed funds, but also to give the children fun and memorable experiences.

2023 events

School Disco

Scholastic Book Fair

Easter Garden competition

Colour Run - our first ever!

Coronation tea towels

Summer Fete and grand raffle

Pumpkin decorating competition

Personalised Christmas cards and gifts

And several non uniform days and second hand uniform sales

Overall during 2023, we raised a massive £5250!

Many thanks to everyone who helped at, attended and supported our events.

This money has funded resources, events and equipment for children across the school, including:

Interactive whiteboard for Year 4

PC for the hall

Substantial contributions towards Bikeability and Christmas Pantomimes, enabling these to take place

Maths resources

Gardening resources

Contributions to celebrations (including crackers for Christmas lunch, food for Year 6 leavers party)

Colouring pens for the classes

Planning for 2024 is underway, including the Great Holbrook Bake Off (further details to follow…)

In order to run big events such as discos and fetes, we would love to have some more committee members. Without more people, we simply won’t be able to run these larger events.

In particular, we currently have no committee members in Years 1 or 6, making it harder to liaise with parents in these year groups.

We are also currently without a chairperson. If you’re interested in helping or contributing in any way, please contact psaholbrook@gmail.com or speak to one of the committee:

Amy Butler (Y3)

Helen Sharp (Y3)

Sharon Simmonds (Y5 & F)

Tiffany Sims (Y4)

Alison Smith (Y3 & F)
