Parent School Lottery

Welcome to Pimperne CE VC Primary School lottery. This lottery has been set up specifically
to raise money and make a difference for our children!

It’s a fantastic way to bring Parents, Carers, Teachers and the wider community together, in
partnership with our school, and at the same time give something back. We hope to raise
funds that can support and enrich the education of our children – we aim to provide extra
resources for the children, improve the school environment as well as run extra curricular
activities such as music, art and sport.

Your support is greatly appreciated and we wish you good luck!

What are the PTA raising money for in 2019 – 2020?

A School Running Track

Coach and minibus travel – We live in rural Dorset, to ensure our children have experiences we help support the school by contributing to the cost of travel, this helps the school keep the cost down on the KS2 residential visits planned and class day visits. The money also helps to provide transport to the Blandford School and Leisure centre for opportunities offered to our children, in addition to helping any supporting or musical groups travel out into the community.

Class Funds – Each class is given an annual budget to support the learning of the children, this may support educational visits or classroom resources etc

Groups – We wholeheartedly support our children who are ambassadors for our school whether through music, sport or other curriculum activities. We are purchasing some school swimming hats and t-shirts for when children take part in inter school swimming galas. 

Learning – We have helped to buy online subscriptions for learning platforms in maths and english, to help support our children in a fun and motivational manner.

Experiences – We are raising funds to support the school in providing extra special experiences to enhance learning both in Key Stage 1 and in Key Stage 2.

Fundraising Events

The PTA are always willing to listen to new ideas, please bring them along to our next meeting.

Tuck Shop – A special Friday treat! 

Our tuck shops run on a monthly basis throughout the year, with parents from each year group in turn providing the treats and running the stall. It is usually held in the playground on a Friday afternoon, just as the children leave for the weekend.  Treats may be delivered into school during the day of the Tuck Shop and are usually collected in a box in the staffroom. Setting up the stall takes around 10-15 minutes and parents collect the treats from the staffroom to lay out onto the stall tables.
