EXTRA CURRICULAR CLUBS
Extra curricular clubs have now been allocated on Arbor. We have tried to ensure that all children have received at least one of their top two choices. Some clubs (Art and Badminton in particular!) were very popular! You can see which clubs have been allocated on Arbor. If you put down a club and your child hasn't been successful in gaining a place, they have been automatically added to the waiting list.
There are still some places available in the LEO Gymnastics club, please sign up on Arbor.
If you child no longer wants their club place, please let us know by emailing the Office so it can be offered to someone else.
Please make sure that your child knows which club(s) they are attending.

PTFA
We are the PTFA and we are calling out for more parents to join our team.
What do we do?
Raise money for the school with range of fun activities and events, that will benefit each and everyone of our children. This year we have raised money for the new reception playground, the picnic bench's and the new shaded hut.
What do we need from you?
Volunteers with time to plan events, help at events, give ideas and support the school.
Come along to our AGM (Annual General meeting) in September and listen to what events we did this year and what we have planned for next year.
We would love to raise more money for our children and that means we need your help. As much or as little time as you can spare. We also need commitee members including Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer.
We cannot raise funds without support from our parents. Please fill in the form below a if you are interested in any our roles including volunteers.
