St Marks CEP School PTA

We loved welcoming our lovely new Early Years pupils and their parents this morning with a small gift and BIG hello!

Can't wait to see how they settle into life at our amazing school - the children AND the parents! 🥰

And that's another amazing year wrapped up! This year we managed to raise just shy of an astonishing £16k! The children of St Mark's have enjoyed reading scheme rewards, a panto trip, subsidised trips, and a whole lot more.

Our fabulous year 6 and their parents raised over £2k and bought the school two table tennis tables for the playground as a legacy gift for the school.

We ended the year in style by clearing out our container of 'bits and bobs' and uniform shed! 3 hours on a hot Sunday morning was all it took. And no, noone has ever seen that many Christmas trees in the middle of summer!!

Even though we are very tired, we look forward to doing the same again next year!!

Thank you very much for all your support this year - we absolutely couldn't have done it without you.

Aaaaaaaand.....sleep! 😴😴

What a day! Thank you to everyone for helping to make today happen - from all of the planning to the running of stalls today - it literally couldn't happen with you.

Thank you as well to our supporters - your help with the activities and the raffle means so much. It's amazing fun to run these fairs for the community, but it's one of our most important fundraising events of the year to help raise money for the school.

We hope that you all had a brilliant day - and the rains even held off!

We had several Young People from Scouting help to run some activities today. Well done to the Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Young Leaders who helped out!

And a very big thank you to the 2nd Royal Tunbridge Wells (St Pauls Rusthall) group for lending us your coconut shy!
