Support Holbrook Primary School with Easyfundraising

Our PSA has signed Holbrook Primary School up to Easyfundraising — a simple way for families and friends to help raise funds for the school at no extra cost.

Easyfundraising works with thousands of popular online shops (including supermarkets, travel sites, gift stores and more). When you shop through Easyfundraising, the retailer donates a percentage of what you spend straight to Holbrook Primary School — and it doesn’t cost you a penny extra! Just Eat, Marks & Spencers, Tescos, Amazon, Etsy, Argos, E-Bay, John Lewis – and more

How to get involved:

1. Click the link below to go to our school’s Easyfundraising page
    https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/search/cause/?q=Holbrook%20Primary%20School%20-%20Suffolk&cat=cause
2. Sign up and select Holbrook Primary School – Suffolk as your cause.
3. Shop online as usual — just start your purchases via Easyfundraising (website, app or browser reminder).
4. Retailers will donate to the school automatically!

Every little bit helps — and it really adds up! Please sign up and share the link with family and friends to help us raise even more for school activities, resources and PSA events.

Thank you for your support!

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful PSA Committee and one of our School Governors, Mrs. Tyler, for their successful grant application which has made possible the remarkable transformation of the old swimming pool area at the front of the school.

With the expert craftsmanship of Mr. Cook, a talented local tradesman and parent at our school, the stunning planters were built. A local landscape gardener, Charlotte Norman supported the overall design, and many generous parents contributed their time and effort to fill the planters with soil.

Our Gardening Club, led by Mrs. Johns and Mrs. Raybould, along with our dedicated volunteer Mrs. Rogers, did a fantastic job planting out the boxes. We’re also very grateful to Mrs. Hetherington, who kindly donated additional plants and offered her help with the planting.

The entire landscape has been beautifully transformed, and we couldn’t be more grateful or delighted with the results. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this vision a reality!

The Bee Line Cafe Raised Garden – Our thanks to the PSA Committee and our wonderful Volunteers

Another Big Thank You to Our PSA!

We’d like to extend our thanks to our wonderful PSA for purchasing the bark for the Year 2 garden, located in their outside classroom space. It has made such a difference to the flowerbed – not only improving its appearance but also helping the plants thrive.  Students also love the Bug Hotel that Ms. Bradshaw and some students have been building over the weeks.

Your continued support, including all the fantastic fundraising efforts, is truly appreciated. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make this possible!
