Alexandra PSA 2019
Welcome to the Alexandra PSA!
Reminder of what the PSA does
Objective: to support the school by enhancing the school community for parents, carers and children and raising funds to support the school’s activities
Everyone with a child at Alexandra School is automatically a member of Alexandra PSA
The money raised by the PSA means that the school can offer our children a broader range of experiences, learning, opportunities and fun than the school would otherwise be able to fund
All of this is only made possible by the generosity and support of parents, carers, staff, wider friends and family, and of course, the children themselves!
We rely entirely on staff, parents and carers volunteering their time, skills, resources (anything you can add) to make it happen, plus everyone to come along to as many events as possible
Last year we raised £16k and spent it on lots of different things:
This year we plan to have lots of similar fun events and fund forest school, sketch better, teddy tennis and playground improvements amongst other things, plus whatever class teachers want to buy with cake sale proceeds. We work with Mr Waiting to make sure we’re spending it in the most positive way for the kids and school
Updates and info is posted onto the school Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/alexandraschool/

Class Reps
Class reps play a key role as a link between parents, teachers and the PSA.
We’ve got some great events lined up for this year, but they can only happen if people help organise them. Thanks so much to those of you already getting involved, but if you can spare some time or skills to help then we would love to hear from you – contact any of the core PSA or your class rep. We’ve got lots of info and people to help with specific parts of all of the events, so you won’t be alone!
