Buckhurst Hill Community Primary School PTA

We've entered a competition to (hopefully 🤞) win a new set of playground markings. One of the entry requirements is to post the specific text below to our official blog or website. Competition Entry Text We’ve entered in the Fun & Active Playgrounds competition and are in with a chance of winning a playground transformation worth £3000 for the new academic year! We’re crossing our fingers as the Silver Sports Package includes 6 bright and colourful playground markings that encourage physical play and activity. With a Netball Court, Dance With Me, Active Trail, Jump Game, Dartboard and 4-Way Hopscotch – the range of markings can be used to enhance breaktimes and PE lessons! Find out more here: https://fun-play.co.uk/playground-competition The competition will run until they've had applications from 100 schools, so there's no predefined closing date for a winner to be announced. We'll post an update when we know more...

The results are in from our Halloween fund raising events: Event £ Halloween Activity Sheet £ 214 Wizards and Witches non-uniform day £ 206 Total £ 420 The money will be added to the PTA funds and used to buy equipment for the school and fund other exciting activities. Many thanks to all the parents who donated, and children who participated in these events - it was a lot of fun seeing so many children in their wizard and witch costumes, especially *all* the Harry Potters 🙂.

We've designed a Halloween activity sheet to keep your little ones busy for a couple of hours over the half-term break, and we'll be selling it at the school gates this week. Look out for some of the Year 6 children lending a helping hand! Remember to return your completed sheet by the 5th November to be entered into a prize draw for a £20 Smyths voucher.

We're getting into the Halloween spirit on the last day of half-term with a fancy dress day.

We're super-excited to announce that our regular firework night celebration returns this year on Friday 5th November, featuring a spectacular firework display and a giant bonfire! Tickets are available now from IG9 cafe and Rue Gourmet.

We recently had our 2021 AGM and elected new parents into some of the PTA roles to replace outgoing parents. New members are: PTA Co-Chair Kulsum PTA Co-Chair Katie PTA Secretary Michael The PTA relies heavily on the time and energy donated by a handful of core committee members and dozens of parent volunteers throughout the school year, so please feel free to say hello to us if you see us around the school, and let us know if you have time to help us organise and run PTA events.

Welcome from the BHCPS PTA Committee Our purpose is to raise funds for learning and enrichment activities and resources that  benefit our children; support a thriving, positive, inclusive and sociable school community; and provide opportunities for children, parents, carers and school staff  members to get together and have fun! The majority of parents, carers and school staff members contribute in some way to the work of the PTA and we look forward to continued success in supporting our school. For more details on upcoming events please refer to the school calendar.
