Who We Are
PTA Projects
Uniform Assistance - We have supported 7 families with uniform assistance, across both campuses.
Willen Hospice - We continue to work with local shops to collect uniform donations with a dedicated area set up in the school holidays. Uniform can be bought throughout the school year when available.
Cook-Away - We are proud to have supported the Newport Pagnell Food Tech team in providing these sessions to pupils in association with St Mark's Meals. This has been a huge success and we are looking to continue supporting this initiative, with the hope of it being extended to our Olney pupils too.
Winter Coats Collection and Redistribution - We were blown away with the support from our families and communities who donated. Most of the coats have been distributed at our Olney campus, but we still have some available at our Newport Pagnell campus, so please do get in touch with the relevant PAL if your child requires a warm coat this winter.
