💙 What a year it’s been for the Southwater Academies PTFA! - our BIGGEST one yet! 💙

As we look back on another incredibly busy year, we wanted to take a moment to say a huge 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to everyone who has supported the PTFA and helped us raise funds for our two wonderful academies. 🙌

From our amazing volunteers and committee members, to parents, teachers, local businesses, sponsors, stallholders and everyone who has donated, attended an event, bought a raffle ticket, baked a cake, joined in with a fundraiser or simply shared one of our posts — every single contribution has made a difference. ❤️

Together, we have raised £𝟯𝟮,𝟳𝟲𝟮.𝟵𝟰 this year, which will go directly towards providing additional resources, experiences and opportunities for the children at The Southwater Infant Academy and Southwater Junior Academy. 🎉

Behind that figure are countless hours of planning, organising, baking, crafting, collecting, emailing, promoting, setting up and clearing away and, of course, lots of fun and wonderful memories along the way!

We genuinely couldn’t do it without the incredible support of our school community and local community. Thank you for believing in what the PTFA does and for helping us make a difference to the children. 💙

Here’s to everything we’ve achieved together (£85k over the past 3 years) - and to the exciting things still to come - congratulations and all the best to this year's PTFA committee! 🌟

Thank you, Southwater! ❤️
