St Martin's Fundraising

All parents/carers are invited to attend our St Martin's School Fundraising Team meetings, offering you an opportunity to meet with other members to discuss fundraising for the coming year.  Information on upcoming Meetings will be sent out via our SchoolPing messaging system.  

If you are interested in helping the Fundraising Team in any capacity for our future events, or for any general enquiries, please email us at >>  fundraisingteam@stmartinsschool.org.uk 

Monies received through St Martin's fundraising and commissionable events enables the school to enhance your child's education.  We are currently fundraising towards our
playground improvement project.

Throughout the Year the St Martin's Fundraising Team have held special events on Fridays:
Hot Chocolate Friday during the Autumn terms, Milkshake Friday's during the Spring and rounded up with Ice Lolly Friday's during the Summer terms.

Easter and Christmas Activities:

Easter and Christmas envelopes were sent home with children from the St Martin's Fundraising Team offering lots of activities for children to take part in. 

Thanks to a fantastic donation from the St Martin’s Fundraising team, and all your generous donations over the last few years, we have been able to improve the play and outdoor learning for all the children. We have introduced:
➢ Playground marking for imaginative play
➢ Basketball courts and posts
➢ Daily mile track
➢ Football goals and markings
➢ Sails for shade
➢ Seating for outdoor learning
➢ New equipment including space hoppers

All this provision supports the children’s 5 ways to wellbeing which we encourage through play.

• Connect with others
• Keep active
• Be creative
• Keep learning
• Take notice and give

Thank you all and look forward to many future events that are being planned.

CAROLS ON THE PLAYGROUND:  A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our ‘Carols on the Playground’ event on 10th December. It was a wonderful time for families to enjoy songs and readings by the children, outdoor festive stalls, games and refreshments. We would also like to thank local businesses for their generous Prize Draw donations.

Some of our children in Reception, Key Stage 1 and Year 3 visited Santa in his Grotto on Monday. Santa then visited the classrooms to say hello and left the children a little treat.
