Fundraising and WFA
Throughout each year our pupils engage in a range of fundraising activities. Thank you for your support.
Through pupil lead discussion, our School Council agrees the charities that families will be asked to donate to (eg Local Food Bank, Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal); our staff run both learning and fun activities to raise money for the school (eg Money Matters); and WFA, our Parents’ Group (Wallisdean Friends Association) raises money for many extra curricula activities (eg Christmas Magic Show, discos, special ‘shopping days’ etc).
In classes, topics and assemblies our children talk about the reasons for and ethics of fundraising and of helping others:
Across the federation we took part in the NSPCC’s Number Day on Friday 1st February. As well as doing some fun Maths activities, children wore clothes or a badge with a number or repeating pattern and donated money towards this annual national fundraiser. Together, the Infant School and Pre-School raised £239.10.
We celebrate Harvest Festival at St John’s Church – with donations of tinned and dried foods going to our local for Fareham & Gosport Basics Bank
Our Children In Need 2024 Pudsey Appeal raised £267.88 raised across the Federation
Welcome Winter Jumper Day raised £166.20 towards WFA’s Christmas activities
Thank you to all our families who made a donation when they watched their child’s Christmas performance. This raised £339.62, some of which was used to off-set the cost of new costumes.
