Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Our traditional winter and summer fairs where hugely successful for the school community. Our school Bingo, Discos and reception parties were popular once again and enjoyed by the pupils.
The PTA also supported JS activities such as providing honey for Rosh Hashanah, decorating and enjoying treats in the succah, Mock Seders, mishloach manot bags, hamantaschen at Purim, and a special Yom Ha’Atzmaut party with an inflatable to name a few.
The focus of the PTA has always been to raise funds to improve and enhance the school and the experience of our children. Last year the PTA continued in its goal to install new Astro in the playground and supported the school on its new Reading Plus scheme for key stage 2. This followed a PTA donation towards the new phonics scheme for key stage 1 the year before.
