Raising Money to Benefit the Pupils
For all those parents and families who have ever attended a Moulsford Bonfire night, a Headmaster’s Quiz, the Christmas Fair, the Summer Ball, or the school Year 6 to 8 disco, then you have enjoyed events run and organised by the Moulsford Parents Association. Equally, if you have ever bought second hand uniform, you have been a beneficiary of the time given by parent volunteers to run the Second Hand Uniform Shop.
These events and the shop are wholly run by Moulsford parents. There is a committee of trustees who manage the MPA’s activities and finances, and who lead the events. They are supported by teams of both parent and staff volunteers, who give their time to help put on amazing MPA events, for the rest of the community to enjoy.
The PA works collaboratively with the school, discussing and agreeing how funds that are raised should be allocated, and always with the benefit of pupils and community in mind.
The teaching staff regularly make spend requests of the PA, for equipment or tools that will enhance their ability to run activities or extra-curricular learning for the benefit of the pupils. The PA also consider pupil-led spend requests (supervised by the school and voted on by student representatives), with money allocated to these spend requests each year.
In the last 12 months the MPA have purchased/funded the following:
• New climbing autobelays
• Pre-Prep sensory den
• Giant Connect 4
• Pre-Prep Forest School shelter
• Piano for Pre-Prep
• 3D Printer
• House benches for Sports Hall
• New goals for Sports Hall
The MPA ensures that any spend covers the breadth of school departments and the interests and endeavours of the pupils. The PA’s aim is that all pupils at the school will benefit from MPA spend at some point in their school life and hopefully many times.
