The Richard Crosse PTA

We need you!

Please help the Richard Crosse PTA raise funds for a much needed wellbeing playground, complete with an outdoor children's gym, a trim trail, water feature, and a quiet nurture area. We are lucky enough to have space within our small village school, but it is old and needs redeveloping. Given our size, we really need your help to achieve this, for our children who have shown so much resilience over the last 2 years, but also for generations to come.

Studies have found that school children have become less active, which affects their physical and emotional wellbeing, this coupled with the effects of the pandemic, means that children are in more need than ever. Play is a vital part of child development and wellbeing and a way for children to relax and cope with stress. It gives them the opportunity to be creative, to problem solve, gain confidence in their own abilities and develop a sense of accomplishment. All this with the aim of helping them on their way to becoming emotionally resilient teenagers and adults.

We, the Parent and Teachers Association, run events throughout the year to help provide a fun and enriching environment for our pupils to thrive. This is such a huge project for a small school, and especially given the effects of the pandemic on the curtailment of fundraising events. So please help us to achieve this and thank you for reading. The PTA team.
