About this cause

We raise funds to enrich the education of all pupils at Atwood Primary Academy & consider all requests from staff, pupils, parents & carers. Our funds have been used for a wide variety of items from a mini bus, sports kits for competition, books for the classrooms selected by the children, new musical instruments, a pantomime from an external theatre company for the whole school, out door cafe style seating, defibrillator just to name a few. We also organise days such as "dig for Atwood" where families come & spend the day helping prepare the allotment area before being rewarded with a BBQ. Our fundraising is diverse & we have hosted quiz nights, Mother's Day afternoon tea, pop up Christmas gift shop for the children, summer fairs, Christmas fairs, Sanderstead Fireworks, uniform sales etc

How this cause brings people in the community together

We have been asked to fund the computers for IT suite when it undergoes a refurbishment. These computers will allow a full class to be able to work on one computer each maximising learning time. The project will benefit the whole school from nursery (3 years old) to year 6 (11 years old). In addition the money will go towards smaller projects that we are asked to fund throughout the year such as the defibrillator which we purchased and is located in the school office available to the local community if ever it was needed. We are able to fund days such as our community "Dig for Atwood" where we invite families and the local community to a day of gardening. This has allowed people to make new friends and contacts amongst not only the adults but the children too.
