We are a group of parents, other family members and staff from Highwoods Community Primary School in Colchester. We are a registered charity, and run events for our school community with the aim of providing a fun event for our children, along with raising funds for the school via the PTA charity. Examples of events we run are a Magic Show, a Christmas Disco, a Summer Fair, a Bake Off competition and Mothers Day/Fathers Day sales. In these times of cuts in school funding support from the PTA is more important than ever. We aim to fund equipment, works and events which will benefit all the children. Examples of our spending include funding coaches to take all of the children to the Christmas pantomime so parents only need to buy theatre tickets. We fund a yearly French Workshop. In recent years we have funded refurbishment and book purchases for both school libraries. We have also funded activity sheds around the school field and play equipment to be used in them. Our next fundraising target is to fund a new climbing frame, as the current one only allows a small number of children to use it. This should promote more enjoyment and activity for our children at break and lunchtimes.

Story

After planning to have a team running the half marathon to fundraise for the school in 2020, we finally have an in person race to run after COVID. Our team includes runners with varied running experience, but all looking forward to the event to raise money for the children at our school.
