Welcome Back!

We hope that you all had a lovely half term break and enjoyed some of the sunshine we had! We’ve been really busy over the half term break – more about that later!

AGM on Wednesday

This Wednesday, we are hosting our next meeting and it’s an important one – our AGM. This is where the Committee reports on what the charity has achieved this past year, then resigns – and we vote in a new committee to run the PTA until 2024. 

We need at least 12 members present at this meeting to meet our legal requirements as a charity, so please, please do come along if you can – we promised to keep it as brief as possible! If you can’t make it in person, we will be providing a way to participate virtually – please register here for that.

If you’re interested in joining the committee and helping us organise fundraising for the school, this is a great opportunity. We are specifically looking for a Secretary and a Deputy Chair. Please do let us know if you are interested in either of these roles and if you’d like to chat about it beforehand, please do drop us a line, we’d be happy to talk. 

We are delighted to be hosting our AGM at Il Porto, our new & local pizzeria run by a lovely Coopers Lane Family. Thank you to Baci for hosting us!  So, please do come along and support the PTA as well as enjoy a glass of wine or soft drink and a slice of pizza!

Uniform Shop Revamped and Reopened

The PTA were busy over the half term break and, with some help from our lovely volunteers, we have given our preloved uniform shop a makeover! You can see the results below.

It is now so much easier to find what you are looking for and to sort out donations much more quickly. The makeover has also given us a chance to see exactly what stock we have and what we need. We really need purple cardigans in all sizes as well as PE t-shirts in all colours and Coopers Lane backpacks.

We DON’T need any more donations of grey items or white polo shirts for the moment as we have loads! 

We have also sorted out all our lovely purple gingham dresses – so get your order in now for the summer term.

The shop will officially reopen on Weds 22 Feb @ 3pm and online orders are now also open.

New Year update

We hope that you all had a fantastic festive break with family and friends, even if it was a little bit different that what we were all expecting. The PTA have lots of exciting things happening this term, so please read on to find out all the details and how you can continue to support the school & kids !

Ceilidh Night
Unfortunately, the annual PTA Ceilidh Night on Friday 28 January 2022, has been postponed. We will hopefully reschedule this popular and fun night in due course. Our next big fundraising event will be the ‘Coopers Lane Big Quiz Night In’ on Friday 11 March, so start prepping now and get your team together. It’s two years since we hosted our last quiz night and it’s always such a popular and entertaining evening. More info coming soon !

Next meeting date
Our next meeting date is Thursday 3 February at 7.30pm. The venue will be confirmed shortly. Keep an eye on our social media accounts for the details. Remember, every parent, carer and teacher at Coopers Lane is automatically a member of the PTA and can come along to all meetings.

Summer Fayre 2022
This year, we are very hopeful that we are going to be able to run our biggest event of the PTA calendar – the Coopers Lane Annual Summer Fayre. The fayre will take place on Saturday 18 June from 12noon – 4pm in the school grounds and our theme will be ‘The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee’. As usual, there will be lots of fun stalls and activities for all ages as well as some yummy food/drink stalls to try out. This year, we will also be running our cake competition and a royal portrait competition that all the kids can get involved in.

We are currently in the planning stages of the fayre and are looking for the following:
• Local companies who would like to donate a raffle prize
• Small & creative local businesses who would like to host a stall in our ‘Creative Coopers Marketplace’
• Any local food & drinks retailers to be part of our ‘Coopers Lane Café’
• Local community groups, who might like to come along, run a fun activity or perform on our stage
• Face painters – the most popular stall ever !!!
Most importantly, we are on the look out for LOADS OF VOLUNTEERS to help set up, run and support the fayre. This is a large scale event that needs a lots of hands to help make it a success.

So, if you can offer any help or want to be part of this year’s fayre, please do send us a message via info-pta@cooperslane.org

Uniform sale
A second hand uniform sale will take place after February half term. Date & time to be confirmed. If you have any uniform to donate, please either contact the PTA or drop it into the school office labelled for the PTA. We are particularly looking for Year 6 Varsity jackets as they are always in demand !

Library update
The plans for the new school library have now been finalised and work will start very soon. You can see a computer generated image below, which gives you an idea of how it will look. Now we need your help!

Our target is to raise £20,000 over the year! The library will be a magical space for ALL children to enjoy for years to come. Helping children to discover a love of reading is one of the best gifts we can give them!

If you need to get in touch with us, please do email us or message us via Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. We are always looking for volunteers who can help out at events, attend meetings, uniform sales or any other skill you may bring!
