Big Lottery Fund

How thrilled are we!

Pictured are: Kath Adams (Language and Play Co-ordinator), Rebecca Westcott, Joanne Yeo, Louise and Jacob Rosenthal (Parent's Association members), and Faye Davies (Communities First).


The Parent's Association were successful in their application to Awards for All which is part of the Big Lottery Fund, for funding for new resources. (that was a bit of a mouthful!)

After many hours of hard work with Faye from Communities First, putting in the application and waiting 12 wks, we learnt that we were had been awarded monies for a new printer/ink and paper, an A board to help promote our events and for new Language and Play resources. The total amount awarded was £739!

The Parent's Association has 4 qualified Language and Play Leaders and some of these will be delivering Language and Play courses this year as part of their "Bring a Smile Project"

Language and Play will start in partnership with the Flying Start Project on Wednesday April 22nd in CYCA at 9.30 am. We are really looking forward to it, it's going to be an exciting project, open to families young and old, helping to develop children's language skills through play. So, if your a parent, grandparent, aunty, uncle, or carer with a child aged 0 - 4yrs looking for for that little something extra, then maybe Language and Play is for you.

Each week there'll be crafts, singing, talking, sharing, learning and having fun!

If you would like to know more about Language and Play, or would be interested in having a course run in a group that you attend, please get in touch with us through this site or, if you know us, at the school.
