Dear Families,

As usual it has been an incredibly busy and enriching week across the school, with pupils heading out both near and far to bring their learning to life. These experiences are a vital part of our curriculum, and we are grateful to the PTFA, whose fundraising efforts ensure these opportunities remain accessible for all our children.

A huge well done to Florence Nightingale Class, who won the Attendance Trophy this week with a brilliant 99%!

Across the week our pupils have been excellent ambassadors for the school during a variety of trips. On Monday, our Reception classes visited St Luke’s Church, where Mother Mitzy was full of praise for their wonderful behaviour. Year 4 enjoyed a cultural visit to the Barbican, and on Tuesday, our older pupils visited the cinema for a thought-provoking film about our planet and the importance of looking after it. On Wednesday, Year 6 explored history at the RAF Museum in Hendon, while Year 3 had an energetic and inspiring day today at Lee Valley Athletics.

We are so proud of our public speaking finalists: Sachini, Derin, and Chloe. They all spoke with such confidence on Wednesday at the final of the Ivy Learning Trust Public Speaking competition , but special congratulations goes to Chloe, who was placed 2nd overall!

On Wednesday, Martin Luther King Jr. Class wowed us with their detailed knowledge of life in Roman Britain; you all looked amazing in your costumes and did a brilliant job sharing your learning.

Finally, thank you for your generous donations during today’s Wear Your Own Clothes Day. While the PTFA are still tallying the total, your contributions are greatly appreciated.

I hope you all have a wonderful, restful break, and we look forward to seeing everyone refreshed and ready for the new term.

Every parent, carer and staff member is automatically a member of the PTFA. There are many ways to get involved with our after school sales, one-off initiatives and larger fundraising events.

Dip your toe in: Join the Volunteer Group

Help out with ad hoc tasks e.g. prep for events, sort stock, set up for sales and events, serve food or drinks. Or perhaps you have a particular skill or resource to offer e.g. photography, barista or access to donations.

Lead on a fundraiser

Oversee a specific fundraiser. We have designated volunteers who organise regular Pre-loved Uniform Sales, Happy Bags and Book Sales, and small teams organising other events. Perhaps you have a new idea to offer!

Why Get Involved?

Lavender PTFA raises funds to subsidise school budgets in order to provide enrichment activities for all pupils that would otherwise not be possible e.g. trip to the Aquarium, Celtic Harmony, Hertfordshire Zoo. Being a PTFA volunteer is a way of feeling more connected to the school community, creating memories, contributing towards fun events and making a difference.
