Our amazing Friends of Newton have been very busy making these hampers for our Christmas Raffle! Raffle tickets will be on sale from 8:30am and from 3:15pm at the school gates. All fundraising goes towards the school fund. 

Thank you for your incredible support. 

Friends of Newton was formed in November 2019. After the collapse of the PTFA in 2018, there was a growing need for a parent volunteer group which could support the school raise much needed funds to improve the quality of education the children receive. 

The Friends of Newton group consists of around 8 members. The group meet on a regular basis to help plan fund raising events. So far, the group have planned the following: 

• Christmas Disco
• Supported with Christmas crafts for the Newton Christmas Fair
• Sold calendars and key rings
• Hosted a pancake breakfast for parents and children
• Run a number of tuck shop sales
• Set up a school lottery
• Set up a shopping reward scheme for parents/carers with funds going directly to school
• Organised a special person/ Mothers Day lunch
• Organised a huge raffle with dozens of quality prizes up for grabs
• Organised an Easter Egg Hunt

What have we achieved so far? Project Playground Markings

In 2019-20, the Friends of Newton group raised over £2000 and donated this to the school to help to have new playground markings installed. The children love playing on the new markings and it benefits children right across the school of all ages and abilities.
