Funds raised by OPTA are intended to provide 'extras' not already provided by the school's main income. In the past we have fund-raised for the the outdoor classroom, books for the school library and forest school equipment. The OPTA committee and headteacher decide how to spend OPTA funds.Smaller purchases include items such as presents for Father Christmas to distribute. Last year we raised money for the new playground apparatus and equipment for the Early Years outdoor area. This year we are looking to help enhance the creative curriculum subjects at school and have already purchased a new PA system and some glockenspiels for music lessons.
There are many different ways you can help with OPTA, whether you have lots of time to offer or not. Some of the roles require more of a time-commitment but it is immensely rewarding knowing that your efforts are making a differencde to the school life of your child or children. It can also be a lot of fun for you! If you cannot commit to a big job, look out for things you can do less frequently (e.g. running a stall at the Village Fete or baking for a bake sale), and you can always support OPTA events by simply turning up.
Without the support of parents and family members, our children will miss out on fun and exciting experiences that enhance their learning and help to make Offord Primary School the great school that it is.
