All parents of children at Dursley Primary School and Treetops Nursery are part of our parent’s association – and this is your page to let you know what’s going on, what the money that you raise is spent on, and how you can help.

Latest news

6The School Association would like to share with you this summary of how funds were generated and used last year. As you can see it was a challenging year, due to COVID19 and key events like the summer fair being cancelled. We would like to thank you for all your support, and encourage you to help your school association to raise funds for the school virtually during this next school year. All suggestions and support is very welcome.

September 2020 sees the launch of our virtual 50:50 bucket. This is an exciting opportunity to help raise funds for school and win some money for your family! For more details click the link below.

WALKING TRAIL

If you’re looking for something local to do this summer, then please download our Dursley Trail.  It covers a short route which begins at school,  goes around the centre of Dursley and back up to school.  It’s a great way to learn a little more about where we live and an excuse to get outdoors and active!  The trail offers picture and word clues to find the answers, depending on your child’s age, support from an adult may be required.

This has been put together by the Dursley School Association with your children in mind, we really hope you enjoy it.

It’s free for anyone to download, just click HERE

A Google Maps version of the route is available:

If you would like to make a donation to the school then you can do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/dursley-school-parents-association

Keep safe and well and we look forward to doing more fundraising events for the school in September.

Thank you, Dursley School Association.

Upcoming: In September we plan to launch our School Association virtual 50:50 bucket. For £1 a month you ‘buy’ a number, and each month a number is randomly drawn, the prize money will be 50% of the membership fee taken that month (if we sell 100 numbers, you will win £50), with the remaining 50% goes to the school association. Information will be sent out in September. 

Funding update

The school association would like to thank you for all your support during the 19/20 academic year, your fundraising is essential to giving the children a great all round experience at school, for example this year funds were needed for:

• Music and science resources,
• Whole class reading books benefitting children throughout the school,
• A new shed and trike park for the reception class outside area,
• Bookbags for the reception children,
• A Christmas pantomime at the school,
• A contribution to the leavers hoodies for the year 6 – who missed much of their final year and the chance to fundraise for their own hoodies

The School Says “School association has made a genuine impact in supporting school life this year, in both developing the curriculum and enriching school life. We are really really grateful for the support which makes  a very real difference.”
