MORE than £38,000 has been raised to fund new laptops, a climbing frame and other outdoor equipment for an Oxford primary school.
The Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) at St Aloysius’ Catholic Primary School has been raising the cash over the last three years.
Fundraising has taken various forms, including cake and uniform sales, summer and Christmas fairs, music festivals and most recently, a ‘help at home scheme’ which saw children sponsored for doing extra jobs at home.
Grants have also been made from the supermarket Morrisons, the Doris Field Charitable Trust and the Ernest Cook Trust.
Hannah Duncan, acting headteacher at St Aloysius, said: “We are grateful to the PTA for all that it has done in partnership with the school community to fundraise for the outdoor equipment to enhance playtimes and learning outdoors as well as to update the laptops in school.
