PTA Achievements

In recent years the PTA has raised enough money to fund a number of key projects to the overall benefit of the school and, of course, the pupils.

Some of our key achievements include:

TRIM TRAIL

 
2007 saw the installation of a Trim Trail in the Junior Playground, after reaching our target of £15000.  This is an enormously popular feature of the school and is greatly enjoyed by our pupils.

CLIMBING FRAME AND SIT ON PLAY TRAIN

More fundraising by the PTA during 2007 and 2008 enabled the installation of a Sit on Play Train in the Infant Playground which sits alongside the existing Climbing Frame, which was also funded by the PTA.

STAGING FOR MAIN SCHOOL HALL

The funds we collectively raised up until Christmas 2007 were enough to buy some additional staging for the Main Hall - which was in situ in time for the 2007 Christmas Plays.

PICNIC BENCHES

For a town-based site, Milverton School does have a good proportion of green areas for the children to enjoy, which are populated with many mature tree specimens.  The PTA has provided benches to enhance these areas, as well as installing new benches in the playgrounds.


BAG FOR LIFE

Milverton Primary School is very aware of the ecological effect that we all have on the environment and in 2008, the PTA funded the purchase of a Bag for Life for each Milverton family to enable parents, carers and pupils to reduce their carbon footprint by reusing a cotton bag, decorated with our Healthy School Logo.

 

ANNUAL GIFTS

On an annual basis, the PTA also funds:

• Reception children's book bags
• The Year 6 fish and chips at the Leavers' Disco
• Dictionaries at the Leavers' Assembly
• Free refreshments and lollies at the school Sports Days

ANNUAL GRANTS

Members of the PTA co-ordinated the Playground Partnerships Grant Application.  This was successful in bringing in £5,000 for the 'Peace Zone’ which includes both the Gazebo and Pond Area.  The Pond Area is used as an educational resource for the pupils.
