Fundraising for the school
Fundraising has traditionally been an activity that many parent groups have undertaken very successfully over the years and have raised many thousands of pounds to support their children's schools. The new Parent Councils also have the power to fundraise and may want to consider how they go about this.
In their discussions of the school development plan, Parent Councils may identify particular items or activities that would benefit from additional funding. There may be discussions about what the priorities are and these can then be checked out with other parents.
Once targets have been set, it may be effective to form a fundraising sub-committee. Some parents will have particular talents in this area and it may be a way of involving a wider group of parents to help with specific activities.
