Annual Review 2020-2021
Covid and all that it has thrown at us during the 2020/21 academic year has continued to challenge the work of the PTFA. It has been a demanding year finding ways to have fun and raise funds! Nevertheless, we have found ways to support the school and enrich the lives of our children, through the provision of resources and activities.
It became very clear when we returned to school after the summer and the first Covid lockdown, that we were anything back to “normal” and that our Christmas term activity and events were going to look very different, if indeed they were going to be able to take place at all. Covid, on top of everything else, was turning out to be very expensive for schools and more and more was expected from even tighter budgets, leaving less and less for enrichment at point in time where it was needed more than ever. The small PTFA team were determined.
In the absence of being able to hold a Christmas Fair, we launched the DVIS Christmas Elf Trail that ran from the end of November until Christmas. Families paid to download a map full of clues and with a festive themed quiz and had the option of three trails - the Village Trail, the North Dulwich Trail and the East Dulwich Trail. Some chose to complete them all, while others completed the trail that was local to them. They could be done after school or at the weekend – all at once or by doing a street or two a day. The trail also took in some great local Christmas decoration displays as well – Dulwich residents, really went to town decorating their homes in festive lights as Covid case numbers took off! Thanks to Pedder who were happy to be flexible and convert their support to this Covid compliant event. We also managed a ‘Pop-Up Pit Stop’ outside the Lake Building on Saturday 12[th] December between 2 and 4pm, with hot chocolate, festive nibbles and Santa Goodie Bags – the big man even turned up so that everyone who needed to, could have a socially distanced word in his ear.
We were so sad to not be able to share all the joy that a DVIS Nativity brings at Christmas but were delighted that we were able to find a Covid compliant way so that DVIS Reception Mum and PTFA supporter Lynda could take some gloriously festive photos of the children when donkeys (like those who carried Mary!) visited the school as each bubbled class embraced Christmas in all their learning. Many thanks to Lynda (and her helpers!) who worked so hard to capture the magic of the moment.
Christmas as DVIS is never Christmas until we’ve filled a Santa Sack – and we were delighted that we were able to preserve this Frost Fair favourite in Covid times. Thanks to everyone who filled and returned their red Santa Sacks which every child had to take home in their book bags – and to everyone who supported our annual Christmas fundraising and bought tea towels, calendars and coffee mugs featuring all the children’s artwork.
Raising money in an environment where we were so socially restricted was hugely challenging and while we have managed to raise some significant funds, the absence of both the Parents Christmas Party and the annual Christmas Frost Fair and the Christmas Raffle, left us behind where we would normally be. The PTFA launched a further online Christmas Fundraising Appeal , building on the success of the
Summer 2020 appeal. Thank you to everyone who continued to support the school in this way.
The January to March 2021 lockdown scuppered any hopes we had of our normal fundraising and events programme resuming but thank you also to those who supported and took part in our Easter Egg Hunt around the village and who encouraged their children to take part in our Easter Egg Art competition.
It was also hugely disappointing that our “Little bit of DVIS Love Festival” had to be postponed when the easing of lockdown restrictions were delayed in June. Thank you to all those families who hosted Pedder boards for the event and helped raised more than £1200 and to all of you who volunteered to help run the event.
In the absence of being able to hold our ‘Love Festival’ as well as the other summer fundraising events that would normally raise approximately half of our annual fundraising total, we are incredibly grateful to those of you who ‘dug deep and contributed what they would normally spend at events like the school fair and the family BBQ during the summer term and in many cases, even more to our online Summer Appeal. The demands on the school and the PTFA’s funds and resources have been and continue to be significant and we are immensely grateful that so many of you have been able to be so generous.
What has the PTFA activity managed to support this year?
Despite not being able to operate as we would in a pre-Covid world, the legacy of the exceptional fundraising year we had in the 2019/20 school year, has enabled us to continue to support the school through the provision of resources and activities during the 2020/21 school year. In an environment of funding cuts and deficit budgets, these additional funds make a significant contribution to ensuring that the school can enrich the lives and the learning of all its children. This year, alongside meeting all its normal commitments to the school and supporting the additional costs incurred due to Covid, money raised by the PTFA has:
-
Repaired and replaced the Trim Trail playground equipment on the Francis site
-
Purchased additional reading books to support the school’s literacy work during the lockdown and the recovery programme once school reopened.
-
Supported the Science curriculum with a bespoke multi-sensory science enrichment programme from Einstein’s and an interactive live exotic animal encounter experience from Wild Fangs.
-
Purchased two large marquees that have created outdoor classrooms and enabled outdoor learning, singing and music during the pandemic on the Lake and Francis sites.
-
Funded the International Week dancers and performers
-
Met the costs of the International Week Equality Speaker
-
Underwritten the costs of three additional coaches for the Year 1 trip to Joss Bay to ensure that social distancing was possible for the long journey and that any risk of Covid transmission was reduced as much as possible.
Many thank you’s
We are hoping against all hope, that the next school year beginning in September will see a return to more “normal” PTFA activity. We are acutely aware the 2021/22 Year 2 cohort group are the only group left in the school who have a sense of what a mighty force the DVIS PTFA is in a world not restricted by Covid.
T hank you to everyone who has bought Christmas Cards, coffee mugs, calendars, tea towels, photos of your children in Christmas jumpers with donkeys, Christmas Tree Trail maps, Easter Egg Hunt maps, filled ‘Santa Sacks’, admired our Easter Egg competition, dropped into our Festive Pop-Up Pit Stop and made donations to our Christmas and Summer 2021 appeals.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be Class Reps for 2020/21. You are key to communication between the school, the PTFA and the parent body, so a big thank you for volunteering!
There has been a small team of dedicated individuals who have helped deliver the work of the PTFA this year. Thanks to all of you have played a part in keeping getting “stuff done”. Special thanks to Sarah Leach, who we are incredibly sad to say goodbye to as she leaves the school, our Treasury team – Anna Rigby who is finishing her term as Treasurer at the end of this school year and to our new Treasury team, Briony, FJ and Jonathan who have battled the bureaucracy of Barclays bank so that we can once again, pay the bills! Thanks also to Alice Gardiner who has expertly, independently examines our annual accounts for several years and who is relinquishing the task. Big shout out to Mr Gordon for the loan of his trolley and his never-ending support of all that we do, Mrs O’Leary as well as Mrs Hopkins and Mrs Ingleton who cheerfully meet all our requests for assistance, particularly when it involves the laminator!
To all the families whose DVIS journey has now finished, thank you for all that you have contributed and all the support you have given the PTFA. Many friendships have been forged and fond memories made as we’ve run bars, served hot dogs and put together the Christmas Grotto! You will be missed.
Finally, thanks to Mrs Poyton, her leadership team Mrs James and Mrs Easter, all our teachers and teaching assistants, specialist teachers and the team in the kitchen. Together you have exceeded all expectations of what was possible for a school to achieve during a pandemic. It has been a privilege to lead a PTFA that in a small way, has been able to support your phenomenal efforts.
Michaela Lawrence and Megan Pacey, DVIS PTFA Co-Chairs, 2020/21.
