Welcome!
The PTA at Appleton Primary School is called the Friends of Appleton School. We are a registered charity (no. 1024450). The aim of the Friends is to fundraise for the school and to foster a community amongst parents/carers, and indeed those from the wider community who wish to support the school. The funds we raise are used to purchase resources that the school might not otherwise be able provide, within the government set budget. This could be anything from books, maths equipment and computers to school trip transport and outdoor play equipment.
The Friends Committee
We are a friendly bunch and meet on a regular basis to organise fun and exciting events that allow both the pupils and parents alike to fully enjoy raising money for the school.

Where does the money go?
Having spoken to teachers, school leadership, governors and parents, it’s clear there are some key priorities for what we fund and what we hope to fund.

Outdoor Play Spaces
Adventure Trail (back field) 2020 This is a project that has been a few years in the fundraising but we are excited to announce that, thanks to all your generous help, contributions and donations, the Friends, together with a small grant, have been able to fund the new Adventure Trail. This replaces the old, decaying trail on the back field – the design of the new trail is shown in the picture (right). |
Adventure trails are a great way of providing children with varied physical challenges. They improve co-ordination, strength, stamina, core stability, agility and balance. Whilst individual activities can be used on their own, creating a course with a series of challenges increases interest and sense of achievement.
