On behalf of the ‘Marshbrook First School Parent Teacher Association’ I would like to welcome you to our page of the website.

We, as a group of parents, see our role as supportive to the children, the school, and the community. We have helped finance various projects through a great team of unpaid volunteers, who have the children's best interests at heart.

  

Our major achievements over the last few years have included;

·         The installation of interactive white boards in each of the classrooms. 

·         A projector and screen for the main hall.

·         A medical sofa suite, for the treatment of minor injuries.

·         Various pieces of playground equipment.

·         Some umbrellas for the garden area.

·         A new stage for the main hall.

·         A mobile cooker and cabinet for the classroom.

·         Some drying racks in each classroom.

·         Many books for the children.

 

Over the years we have raised funds through various social activities, where the local community has worked with the school, to enjoy an event, whilst simultaneously helping us obtain vital equipment for the school. Our annual events calendar usually includes children’s disco’s each term, various raffles, a stall at the village ‘Victorian Street Fayre’ (Organised by the Penkridge Business Association), our own Summer Fair, and a stall at the annual ‘Penkridge Fun Run’ (Organised by Penkridge and District Round Table).

 We have also been proactive in the area of creative arts by supporting the school band, the drama group and the dance class; providing instruments and equipment such as the new music sound system. 

Generations have helped this school obtain the position we find ourselves in today, thanks to their self-less contributions, giving the most precious of their commodities, their time. We feel the children of Marshbrook have greatly benefited from this.

 

 

We aim to continue to help represent and support this excellent group of teachers and staff to help provide our children with the best start to their school lives. We would also like to extend our welcome to come and help us in any way you can. We are all busy parents, and the more help there is the easier it is for us all.

 

Mr Elliot Goodbody.
