A quick reminder that our next recycled clothing collection with Happy School Bag takes place on Friday this week. ๐Ÿ›

The collection for both academies will take place on Friday 24th January and bags will need to be dropped off at the academy drop off locations before 9am. Extra bags are very much appreciated and can be donated by using ordinary refuse bags.

Did you know... over a year, just one person could raise ยฃ358 for our PTFA for free without doing anything other than shopping online. Imagine what a group of people could do! And what we could buy for our schools and pupils with the donations.

easyfundraising.org.uk work with over 8,000 online retailers, so our PTFA can receive free donations when our school community shops online. Money can be raised through those big annual one-off purchases like holidays and insurance, but letโ€™s not forget the everyday items too! A last-minute birthday present from The Entertainer or a jumper from H&M can also earn our PTFA smaller but more frequent donations.

Thousands raised for family who lost home in fire 20/01/2025

Following the devastating fire in Queen Street Horsham this weekend, our thoughts are with all those affected, including the family that so sadly lost their home. ๐Ÿ’”

We are so proud of our local community for rallying around and helping to offer support, love and donations in the dozens to help those affected start to rebuild their life.

Mannings Heath Golf are still taking warm clothing and toiletry donations over the next few days - if anyone would like to donate. There is also a GoFund Me page that has been set up for the family (link in comments).

Thank you to West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service for their astonishing work and bravery this weekend. ๐Ÿ™

A huge thank you to James from Spotted: Horsham and all of the kind individuals who have offered help and support to those affected this weekend. We really do have the best community!โค๏ธ

What a fantastic start to the New Year! Books have been purchased to add to our library from a very generous Southwater Infant & Junior Academies PTFA donation.

What a busy day for the PTFA, we spent 3 hours at Southwater Junior Academy today making fresh popcorn for all 400+ pupils as one of our Christmas gifts to the children! ๐Ÿฟ

The Southwater Infant Academy had a special visit from Santa today who handed out a present to every child, wrapped and donated by the PTFA as a Christmas gift. ๐ŸŽ

We then finished off the afternoon running our Christmas Gift & Sweet Shop sale at the infants. ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿญ

We hope all the children across both academies had a fun last day of term, and enjoyed their popcorn and gifts - we loved being part of it from behind the scenes!

Merry Christmas to all of our academy families โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ
