Annual Review 2021 - 2022
As we emerged from the post Covid world, it was good to be able to resume much of what we’d previously enjoyed as the Dulwich Village Infants’ School PTFA. There was no let up on the pressure of funding on schools as budgets grew ever tighter, leaving less and less for enrichment at point in time where it was needed more than ever. The small PTFA team were determined.
The year started with a bang, in the form our Covid delayed “Little bit of DVIS Love Festival”. On a sunny Saturday afternoon in September, we danced, sang, ate and drank fantastic cocktails while our children enjoyed a ‘mini fair’ – and raised a much-needed additional funds for the school.
The Autumn term saw the return of all our Christmas favourites – tea towels adorned with the selfportraits of our children, Christmas Cards, Coffee Mugs and Coasters that featured their master pieces, Nativity photographs and the return of the much-loved Parents Christmas Party and Christmas Fair! Many thanks to all those who helped drive these activities, filled a Santa Sack, and contributed to the joyful festivities.
The Spring term saw the return of the Mother’s Day gift shop, the annual Easter Egg hunt – which took place on the most glorious sunny afternoon in the Francis playground – where many eggs were hunted and much cake was eaten. We were also delighted to welcome back the Famous DVIS Quiz Night – with a fully stocked bar and Fish and Chip supper – not to mention the actual Quiz organised by our parent volunteers. Special mention must be made of Jason Lord’s cracking Dulwich local knowledge round and tribute paid to our teacher’s team who took all the glory with top marks! It’s always good to know that our children are being taught all they know by the winning quiz team.
Our Summer term delivered some of our most substantial fundraising ever. The launch of the DVIS Music and Enrichment at St Barnabas Church in Dulwich, with an intimate concert feature the legendary Dionne Warwick was one of those ‘pinch me, is this really happening moments’. Raising more than £30,000 for the school in one evening, the sold-out event has ensured that we have a solid base from which to continue to build from to ensure that music and all that enriches our children’s learning can continue for years to come.
The return of the summer fair a couple of weeks later raised yet more money for the school and the year was rounded off with a fabulous Year Two Leavers Disco, held on a beautiful balmy night, outside, under the trees in the playground area of the Lake Building. For this year group, whose time at DVIS had been so dominated by the Covid pandemic, it was a delight to share with them, the joy, happiness and fun that they had together, as they finished their time at the school.
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.
We are particularly grateful for a significant donation from that AALL Foundation that has assisted us with supporting aspects of the schools’ additional needs programme to ensure that identified children could benefit from specialist interventions.
The money raised over this financial year has continued to support the school through the provision of resources and activities. 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 money raised by the PTFA has been spent on:
-
Renewing the chrome books and tablets used by the children during their day-to-day learning.
-
Renewing the “Reading for Pleasure” book resources for the school.
-
Supporting the purchase of the hard copy texts associated with the schools new ‘Little Wandle’ literacy scheme.
-
Purchased three ‘pop up’ large shade gazebos for use in the school.
-
Replaced play equipment in the Reception garden, including bikes and scooters.
-
Supported the school with air cooling units to ensure that the children were as comfortable as possible during the extreme heat that was a characteristic of the Summer in 2022.
T hank you to everyone who has bought Christmas Cards, coffee mugs, calendars, tea towels, photos of your children in their nativity costumes, came and helped at the fair and participated in the Easter Egg Hunt, filled ‘Santa Sacks’, baked or bought cakes, poured drinks, cooked hot dogs and generally chipped in and helped!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be Class Reps during this school year. 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 our Treasury team – especially Anna Rigby who in her final act as Treasurer, completed and filed her final set of accounts. Thanks also to Gemma Betteley who has expertly, independently examines our annual accounts. 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.
Special thanks to Mrs Poyton, and her deputy Mrs James, and all our teachers and teaching assistants, specialist teachers and the team in the kitchen. Together, we have emerged from the pandemic committed to ensuring that we do the best for our children.
Finally, an enormous thank you to Michaela Lawrence who has been a driving force of the PTFA and who will be starting to step back in the next school year as her time as a parent at DVIS draws to a close. It has been an enormous privilege and the most enormous amount of fun to lead the PTFA with you. Your support has been phenomenal.
Megan Pacey, DVIS PTFA Co-Chair, 2021/22.
