Minutes of previous meeting

Brief discussion of previous minutes, no concerns were raised.

Miss Facer is going to trial Tagtiv8 active maths resources in the next week.

Pippa has looked into the benefits of PTAUK. It is well worth the money £101 per annum, it covers liability at all school events.

Summer Disco to be held on Wednesday 19th July 2017. AP – RH to check Aggie is available. We discussed the Easter Disco staff/parent cover, late notifications added to the disco, impact on food etc. Stickers were discussed and better options. AP – PS to purchase Paper wrist bands (quick costing 200 wrist bands for £5.90 – 0.0295 each)

More cover on the door at the summer disco to help put wrist bands on and more helpers needed. The disco letter is to include cut-off date (strict deadline) and plea for helpers. If not enough helpers the disco ‘will not’ go ahead. AP – SF to put something on Facebook page.
