Fundraising and WFA

Through our shared British values our children learn the importance, moral and personal satisfaction of taking part in voluntary and fundraising activities.

Throughout each year our pupils engage in a range of fundraising activities.   

Thank you for your support.

Through pupil lead discussion, our School Council agrees the charities that families will be asked to donate to (eg Local Food Bank, Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal);  our staff run both learning and fun activities to raise money for the school (eg Money Matters); and WFA, our Parents’ Group (Wallisdean Friends Association) raises money for many extra curricula activities (eg Christmas Magic Show, discos, special ‘shopping days’ etc).

In classes, topics and assemblies our children talk about the reasons for and ethics of fundraising and of helping others:

In 2024-25, across the federation, we took part in the NSPCC's Number Day on Friday 1st February.  As well as doing some fun Maths activities, children wore clothes or a badge with a number or repeating pattern and donated money towards this annual national fundraiser. 

We raised £239.10 for the NSPCC.

Our Children In Need 2024 Pudsey Appeal raised    £267.88   raised across the Federation

Thank you to all our families who made a donation when they watched their child's Christmas performance.  In 2024-25 this raised £339.62, some of which was used to off-set the cost of new costumes.

Wallisdean Friends Association (WFA)

The Wallisdean Friends Association (WFA) is our schools’ Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). The committee is made up of dedicated volunteer staff and parents who work together to raise funds throughout the year. Meetings are held every half term and new members are always welcome!

If you're interested in joining, please contact us via the school’s admin office email (adminoffice@wallisdeanfederation.co.uk).

WFA had a fantastic year of fundraising last year! Here are some of the highlights:

All funds raised by WFA are donated to the Federation and go towards enhancing the school experience for all children. This includes contributions to playground equipment, PE t-shirts for all Year 3 pupils, leaving gifts for Year 2 and Year 6, Year 2 Leavers’ Disco and a special Year 6 Leavers’ Festival.

We couldn’t do any of this without the incredible support of our Federation and the amazing families in our school community. Thank you!
