End of Term Picnic
Tue 09 Jul 2024Dear Parents/Carers,
We are excited to invite you to our end of term picnic on Tuesday 23rd July. This is our annual community event, and I would love to see as many families there as possible. The side gates will be opened at 2pm for parents/carers to enter and you will be able to take your child home after the event. Bring a blanket and a picnic but please remember NO NUTS, no alcoholic drinks, and no smoking/vaping on site. Please do not worry if you cannot make this event, we will still ensure that, for those who cannot make, those children will still join in. School lunchtime will still be as normal on this day. The picnic will also be a non-uniform day. We hope you join us in this exciting day to celebrate the children’s successes throughout this school year.
Thank you in advance, as always, for your continued support as partners in our pupil’s education
Kind Regards,
Mr J Allen
Head of School

2024 - 2025 Sunny Bank PTA
Fri 05 Jul 2024Dear Parents/Carers
Next year, we are looking to strengthen our parent and community partnership even further by launching our PTA. We are looking for parents, family members and community members to set up and join the Sunny Bank PTA. The PTA will help to organise and run activities that will enhance our children’s experience and raise funds for our community school.
We are looking for parents and community members who can dedicate a little time each term to help organise termly discos, Christmas markets, Fayres and any other activities that we generate. Please can you complete the form with your details to register your interest. Once we have an idea of the type of interest we will organise our first meeting.
Please also see below more information about joining as a member of a PTA.
What is a PTA?
We would like to create a group of parents, family members and school stakeholders who come together to organise events held in and around the school for the children of the school and our local community. We want everyone to know they are welcome to help and volunteer in any/many capacities.
What are the benefits?
They can vastly improve the life of a school community, and positively impact the educational experience by developing effective relationships between the school, parents/carers and the wider community. Every school deserves one, and there has never been a more urgent time for us to come together for the benefit of our children and the school community. PTA’s raise extra funds through a wide range of fun and creative initiatives, events, and much, much more. They are also known as HSA, PA, PTFA, PTA, or better still, Superheroes!
What are we considering for year 2024/2025?
Funds will need to grow from event to event, so with a careful plan we hope to start with cost minimal events, which will allow us to build funds for larger events and will start to lay the foundations to grow our PTA community. We would love to organise events such as; movie evenings, discos, treat shops after school as well as seasonal events for Halloween, Christmas and Easter.
It would be great to hear from any parents/carers who have any time to spare to help support the Sunny Bank PTA Association to hold an event this academic year. If you don’t have the time but have ideas or know of any companies/services which may be able to support the school, please let us know.
I look forward to our new partnership venture.
I thank you in advance, as always, for your support as partners in our children’s education.
Mr Allen

Letter for Oak Class parents
Tue 02 Jul 2024We are writing to inform you of a schedule change for the Oak Class school production this term. Due to Bikeability sessions and Year 6 transition days, we have had to reschedule one of the dates of our performances. The dates and times for the Oak Class production are as follows:
Afternoon Performance: Wednesday, 17th July at 1:30 PM
Evening Performance: Thursday, 18th July at 6:00 PM
For the evening performance, we kindly ask that children arrive at school by 5:15 PM. This will allow them adequate time to get ready for the show.
The children have been working incredibly hard on this production and their dedication and enthusiasm have been truly inspiring. We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible to support the children.
To help us with planning, please print the letter HERE and state which performance(s) you will be attending and the number of tickets you require for each.
Thank you for your continued support.
