Sweet bags and drinks will also be available to purchase on the evening.
Parents are more than welcome to stay with the children for the EYFS & KS1 disco. KS2 parents are welcome to stay, however, this is neither expected or needed, unless you are supporting the event.

This year to start rebuilding our calendar of events, post COVID, the PTA will be holding a Christmas Fair on Friday 8th December, between 4:30 & 6:30pm in the school hall.
A variety of stores will be available for you to support, including many firm favourites such as a raffle; tombola; lucky dip and a mystery bottle stall. There will also be Christmas themed stalls and an opportunity for children to buy festive gifts for family and friends.
All this entertainment will be supported with a chance to indulge in mulled wine and hot chocolate along with hot dogs being available for tea.
We are also hoping to have a short Christmas Carol concert on stage at 5:30pm. This will include any Elvington School children in attendance at the aforementioned time.
How can I help?
Please help support this event, as this will enable us to organise additional events in the future, consequently, raising more money to enhance the school experience for all the children who attend Elvington Church of England Primary School.
Thank you,The PTA
As previously advertised, there will be a non-school uniform day on Monday 27th November.
In lieu of a monetary donation, we are asking that children bring in a prize which will be utilised at the Christmas Fair – this needs to be a specific colour. All classes have been assigned a colour as detailed below:
Examples would be a bottle of orange bubble bath, green Matchmakers, red Maltesers, a blue candle etc. Any donations will be gratefully received…

I’m excited to let you know that I’ve been fortunate enough to secure a ballot place in next year’s London Marathon to be held on the 21st of April 2024.
As a result, I am delighted to inform you that I am using this fantastic opportunity to raise money for the PTFA at the school. All money raised will provide vital resources and enrichment experiences for our amazing pupils that the school might not otherwise be able to afford.
With the support of the school and the PTFA, I am planning to arrange several events from now until the race that will involve all the children in my training, help highlight the fun of exercise and also the benefit of bringing a growth mindset into class every day. The picture attached is from when I last ran the marathon in 2015, and you can read my story here.
**This refers to the potential training miles involved in preparing for the event but may be subject to a competition, so not going to be giving too much away!Mrs Leach

The aforementioned donations make a significant difference as the PTA missed out on numerous events due to Covid-19. It’s completely FREE and only takes a moment. You can find the PTA easyfundraising page by clicking on the logo.
The PTA will be running a number of events prior to the Christmas holidays; please look out for additional details… PTA
The first PTA meeting of 2023-2024 will take place at 6pm on Tuesday 2nd October.
The PTA supports the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences and opportunities for all the children across the school. 100% of the profits made from this project goes directly to this organisation. £99 was raised in sales last year.
Please follow instructions carefully and return designs to school by Monday 16th October, should you wish to order. (That is just a few weeks away!)
Kind regards,Mrs Greening
