We are a dedicated team of parents and carers covering all year groups who work hard to raise money on behalf of the school to equip our school and make it a better environment for all. As school budgets are constantly getting cut, our efforts are even more necessary to help the school provide FUN events for children. It offers a chance for parents and teachers to come together and contribute to the sense of community within the school. 

All parents are automatically members of the PTA and we always welcome new parents to join the Committee or freely attend any of the monthly meetings. We are very flexible and welcome all and any help you can give! You can contact us at any time by sending an email to: office@eynesbury.cambs.sch.uk

Over 30 fantastic volunteers turned out to set about several tasks that the school wanting addressing, using funds previously raised from some of our events and a very generous material donation from DJT Surfacing Limited. One of our parents, Ian Sheppard donated his time and skill to build the new wall in the KS1 playground. We revived several school areas during the day including the new forest school entrance and the fabulous new brick wall and bark chip area in the KS1 playground. We are all benefitting from the new bulbs that were planted around the school and the children will soon benefit from being able to get out in the cleared and weeded allotment area. New fruit trees were also planted in the orchard area on the school field and the willow tree was pruned. The garden outside Year 3 also got its own makeover! 

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you who gave up your time and worked so hard to make this day a great success. A huge thank you to all who took part.
