📣 PTA Volunteers Needed – Let’s Make the School Disco Happen! 🪩✨

Hi everyone! 👋

Our PFA team is looking for a few more volunteers to help us keep school events going — starting with something the kids will LOVE… a school disco! 🕺💃

We already have a small group of amazing volunteers, but we are all working parents, and it’s becoming really difficult to organise events with the availability we have.

Even a little help makes a huge difference, whether you can:
✅ help set up
✅ supervise during the disco
✅ sell snacks
✅ or even help tidy up at the end

You don’t need to commit to lots — one-off helpers are hugely appreciated!

We really want to keep fun events like discos, raffles and fundraising going for the children… but without more volunteers, we may have to stop PFA activities altogether.

If you can spare even an hour, please comment below or message us — we’d be so grateful 💙

Thank you!

Breakfast with Santa - what a blast! 🎅🏻

We had the best time this morning with the children at breakfast. They were all so happy, polite, and well behaved - an absolute credit to their families and the school 💕

A huge shout out to the school staff and helpers who helped us, prep, plan, and organise in order to run this morning as smoothly as possible - thank you 🤩

We hope the children enjoyed the visit and their gifts 🎁

Next up, this afternoon’s carol concert and Christmas fair - see you there…!

One final reminder about today’s non-uniform day 👇💙

Good evening!

A reminder about Tuesday's non-uniform day, coinciding with Breakfast with Santa and the Christmas Fair after school.

These events are brilliant for the children but don't come without a lot of organisation and effort from our wonderful Friends of Cogan PFA!

We are asking for a suggested donation of £1 for the non-uniform day to allow the PFA to continue to provide events for the school.

15/12/2025

It’s a busy day tomorrow…!

Along with Breakfast with Santa, we also have the Carol Concert and Christmas fair after school.

Our wonderful school choir will be singing Christmas songs on the playground 🎶

And along with stalls ran by our teachers, there will also be bouncy castles (£1 a go) and our PFA refreshment stand outside selling hotdogs (£3.50), hot chocolates with cream and marshmallows (£2.50), and doughnuts (50p).

We can’t wait to see you there joining in on the festivities 🎄

A huge THANK YOU from the PFA 💙💜❤🧡💛

Because of the amazing support and generosity we’ve received from families and friends of the school during the year, we have been able to fund Breakfast with Santa for a 3rd year! 🥰

Santa has made his list, checked it twice ✅✅, and every child at Alderman Cogan's has made it to on his nice list. Therefore, Santa and his elves will be making a special visit to the school tomorrow 🎅🏼

Each class will get to meet Santa and every child will receive a juice and small breakfast snack 🥐 and the all-important gift from the big guy himself! 🎁

A huge thank you to everyone that’s supported us over the past few months.

MERRY CHRISTMAS from your PFA team

💙💜❤🧡💛

As Santa has a lot of children to see in the morning, please ensure your child has breakfast as usual, as some might not get to meet him until later in the morning....we don't want grumbly hungry bellies.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s bauble bingo! 🌲

We hope the lucky winners like their prizes and everyone enjoyed their little treat.

Apologies for some of the rushed visits and to the class we couldn’t see (your prizes are with your teacher) - this was due to all the other exciting festive activities going on at school.

Don’t forget, next Tuesday we have breakfast with Santa, no -uniform day and the Christmas Carol Concert - we can’t wait to see you all again 🌲 🎅🏻 🎁
