October 2023 Newsletter
Welcome to your PTA 2023/24
Thank you to everyone that attended the Annual General Meeting. It was great to discuss all the up and coming events that we have planned along with the schools ideas of where they would like to spend the funds raised. The children have some great experiences lined up for this year.
We also elected the PTA committee. Take a look at our committee page to meet us.
If you’d like to join the team we are looking for a Sponsorships Officer and Class Representatives (4JA, 5NC, 6GD).
Email [email protected] if you are interested in any of these roles or to find out more.
Bonfire Night Volunteers
Bonfire Night is the biggest event in the PTA calendar and raises the most out of any other event we organise. But it isn’t possible to run without our wonderful volunteers!
We are looking for help with:
Setting up the event
Baking for the cake stall
Running a stall
Stewarding
Cleaning up
If you can help with any of these we would hugely appreciate it.
If you would like to volunteer please fill in the sign up form.

The competition closes at 11.55pm on Wednesday 1st November and the winner will be contacted via email.
Introducing the Cavendish Calendar
We are asking all budding photographers to send in photos of the local area throughout the seasons. The best photos will then be printed in the first ever Cavendish Calendar!
We will pick a winner every month and at the end of the school year we will pull together all of the winning photos to create a Cavendish School Calendar for the academic year 2024/25. The calendar will feature all of the school term dates and inset days too.
All entrants must be either a pupil or a parent/carer at the school. We ask that photos are of the local area only and do not feature people as the main subject (below are examples of what we’d love to see).
To enter please send a high resolution photo to
[email protected]
You can enter more than once but any photos we recieve that are blurred/out of focus
or are of too low quality to be printed will not be eligble.
The winners of the September and October photos will be announced in the school newsletter and on social media in early November so get them in soon to be in with a chance of winning!
