Kings School PTFA

Non-uniform day next Tuesday at the King's School. Please send boys with £1 to help the PTFA continue our support for a range of school and extra-curricular activities across all year groups.

Apologies to anyone trying to join our AGM Zoom meeting this evening who could not get in. We did manage to start after technical issues, but realise many may have given up or assumed the date was incorrect. We have rescheduled for Nov 17th @ 7pm and hope to see lots of you then.

Grantham hospital appreciated the PPE goggles the school were able to spare to help them out: facebook.com/marie.boddingt…

Year 7 parents: "Maths explained" evening on Mon 9th Sep is not about maths! It's about how Maths is taught at Kings, types of homework and tests, and the syllabus, course books and online resources available to you and your sons. Room 33 at 18:30 (same building as the main hall)

Thanks to last night’s audience for the recording of BBC radio #TheKitchenCabinet at The King’s School Grantham we raised £46.20 selling refreshments ☕️ including local @belvoirff cordials.

Thank you to all the boys who brought in donations of chocolate for the #ChocFest tombola yesterday, and to the generosity of everyone in giving their money to the PTFA in the hope of winning some back. We made just over £400 which will as always be used to improve life at King's

Food shopping today or over the weekend? Don't forget to add some chocolate 🍫to your basket to donate for the #ChocFest Easter Tombola at King's School. Please send in nut-free chocolate bars, bags, multipacks or home-baked goods 🍪 before Weds 3rd. Thank you for your support!

Non-uniform day reminder! Tomorrow Tuesday 15th Jan, as published in the school calendar. Please bring £1 to help the PTFA raise funds for a whole range of activities such as those you will have read about in the Christmas newsletter including the new SEND / Wellbeing hub.

In addition to #ChocFest, today we totted up the money from the recent purchases from the second hand uniform shop which came to £69, bringing our total fundraising to a pleasingly round £500 today. Thank you to everyone for your support in 2018 and Merry Christmas to you all! 🎅🏼

Thank you to everyone who sent donations of chocolate for #ChocFest - and spending money for boys! We sold all tombola tickets which meant there was no chocolate left for boys who arrived later 😢 We made £431 which is a great result, albeit slightly less than the last 2 years.

Last reminder for #ChocFest tomorrow! Send nut-free chocolates, cakes or sweets for the boys to win in our tombola. And send them with cash too please! These events are our biggest fundraisers to bring in money which we can then use to make school more fun for all the boys!

Our ChocFest tombola is back! At lunchtime on Thurs Dec 20th (last day of term) boys can buy tickets to win prizes of chocolates, sweets and cakes. Please send donations of suitable nut-free items into school. Large bars, small bars, multipacks or homemade cakes all welcome.

Many thanks to @samruddockT35 for his captivating and inspiring talk at King’s School speech night. Motivated the boys to “keep moving forward” and to go on to achieve the most they can, in whatever way they choose, throughout school life and beyond.
