The Chronicle

Want to join our PTA? Come along for the AGM on Wednesday 20 November 2024 at The Almanack Kenilworth at 7.00pm.

We hope you will be able to join us and find out what the PTA does for the school and how you could help us by supporting events such as the Christmas Fair and Summer Fair.

There will be an opportunity to meet other parents, including those who are new to the PTA, and existing members. In this meeting members of the committee will be voted on for the year so if you wish to join it, this is your opportunity!

We have a number of parents who are involved in the PTA to differing degrees. As well as welcoming those parents who may wish to join us on the committee - we also very much welcome parents who may be able to spare an hour supporting the fairs. It really is an excellent way to get involved with school life and you can offer as little or as much of your time as you feel is possible.

Our main aim is to provide the 'extras' for the school which are very much appreciated by pupils and staff alike; we organise and support events such as the Welcome back event, Author visits, Quidditch Day, Colour Run, School Disco, Pantomime, Easter Egg Hunt, Commemorative events. We also endeavour to provide playground and playground equipment, sporting equipment, Library books and so on.

If you are interested and would like to discuss what is involved in being on the PTA please feel free contact the Committee at hello@pta.crackleyhall.co.uk

Saturday 30 November 2024 - 12:00pm to 3:00pm

PTA Christmas Fair   

Join us for a heart warming afternoon filled with laughter, festive delights and a celebration of our school community. Get ready to enjoy a wonderful time with your family at our Christmas Fair! From Santa’s Grotto to face painting, we’ve got it all covered.

Introducing Elfridges The Magical Gift Shop at The Crackley Hall Christams Fair! 

The Fair is only two weeks away and there are few things for your diaries we would be very grateful for your assistance with:

Friday 29 November will be a non uniform day. In exchange for non-uniform please send your child with either chocolate or a bottle (depending on year group) for our very popular chocolate and bottle tombola.

Soft Toys: We are happy to rehome teddies and other cuddly friends for our teddy tombola. Please place these in a bag and leave in the reception foyer for PTA collection.

Finally, if there are any bakers out there, we would very much welcome any home made (nut free) cakes/cookies/mince pies. Your home-made goods will be gladly received on Friday 29 November non-uniform day prior to the fair.

Parent Stall volunteering - we are delighted to say that we have a fabulous band of merry parent helpers running the class stalls and the children are very excited in anticipation of our Christmas event built around them. Thank you so much for your support to make it a lovely afternoon for everyone,

Your PTA

The PTA have been working very hard behind the scenes on preparing the Christmas cards and gifts, along with raffle tickets that will be coming home today. On the form you can order cards, gift tags, mugs, baubles and tea towels with your child`s unique design on, which makes wonderful gifts for loved ones at Christmas! 

At assembly, the PTA announced the the top prize in the raffle is a Nintendo Switch, with an oled screen, in white. The audience gasped in wonder and excitement! This was alongside squishmallows, unique prizes you cannot buy; such as your class being able to wear trainers for the day. You have to be in it to win it!

The PTA has left more tickets in the school office if you need more. 

Save the date to be able to buy Elfridges vouchers, which will be available to buy from the PTA at every breaktime in the week leading up to the Christmas Fair, so from Monday 25 November these vouchers will be on sale and priced at £4 each.
