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

'Team Highwoods' had planned to run the Colchester Half Marathon in 2020 to raise money for the PTA. When this was cancelled due to COVID we moved our plans to Paras'10 in the Autumn, but this was also cancelled last year. Finally we have an event going ahead, and we're aiming to raise money for the PTA, a registered charity, through sponsorship.
