PSA (Parent Staff Association)

All parents and staff are members of the PSA! 

If you can help with any future events, or have ideas for others, please do get in touch!

PSA Committee

The committee is made up of 4 key officers (Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) and up to 10 other committee members. Members are elected annually at the AGM which is usually held in the first half of the Autumn Term.

The Committee meet on a regular basis usually once or twice per term, with smaller working groups meeting as necessary to organise larger events.

• Martha Jovulero – Chair
• VACANCY - Vice Chair
• Laura Jefford - Secretary

How We Raise Money

The majority of our funds are raised through the events that we run. Some of our most popular events are the Christmas and Summer Fairs, Discos, Film Nights  and the Annual Sponsored Walk to Little Thetford (and back).   We are always keen to try new events that will provide entertainment, enjoyment and of course, raise funds from which they will benefit.

The PSA is a registered charity, we are able to raise money through gift aid and charity matched giving schemes. We also rely heavily on donations from parents be it time, raffle prizes or skills to help stage a particular event.

How We Spend the Money We Raise

Decisions on what to spend funds on are made in liaison with staff, children (via the school council) and the PSA committee. We use the funds to purchase the ‘extras’ not provided by the school budget.

Over the last year, our fundraising has provided equipment and storage for the Outdoor Play and Learning Scheme to improve lunchtime play.  We have also funded several life-enriching experiences for the children, including a whole school trip to Sandringham, a visiting pantomime, a Rock Kidz day and a visiting storyteller for World Book Day.

Over the past years the PSA has also funded many other things:

• A book bag for each new pupil starting school in Reception
• National Trust membership for the school
• Ice creams for the children on Sports Day
• Easter eggs for the children
• A SATs breakfast for Year 6 children

How Can You Get Involved

There are lots of ways you can help and support your child through the PSA.
Offering to help before events or at other times during the year is so valuable – it really is a case of ‘many hands make light work’. We always welcome new committee members or you can come and support us at the AGM where you will have the opportunity to give us your ideas for fundraising events, ask any questions or voice your own opinion.

New volunteers are always welcome, as are occasional helpers for the various events we run.  For more information, please contact strethampsa@gmail.com
