We shall all be electing a new Chairperson and a new Treasurer. If you’d like to find out more about these positions or to offer yourself as a candidate, do come along. Don’t worry – the PSA needs all kinds of people to get involved, doing as much or as little as their time allows.

You can place your order direct with Yellow Moon by phone, fax, post or online. Please make sure you quote the source code, which you will find on your catalogue. This is unique to the school and ensures we receive our cash back.

£8 raised simply for a free trial

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

I’ve just raised £8 for the PSA simply by signing up for a free 14-day trial to receive DVDs from Lovefilm.com via online shopping site easyfundraising.org.uk.

Raise £8 with a free trial of Lovefilm

I plan to stick with Lovefilm anyway, but imagine how much we could raise if we all signed up for just the trial and then cancelled it after 13 days? Given that Lovefilm has over 60,000 film, TV series and games titles, some of you might choose to stick with them. It doesn’t matter.

Register now for the trial and you’ll generate £8 straight away for the PSA. To be clear, to generate a donation:

(1) You must accept delivery of at least 1 DVD
(2) Only one trial per household
(3) You must provide valid financial details
(4) You must not have already had a free trial with a LOVEFiLM International owned service (includes screenselect.co.uk, tescodvdrental.com, easydvdrental.com and sofacinema.com

You’ll find Lovefilm under the CDs & DVDs category at:

www.easyfundraising.org.uk/hamiltonppsa

By the way, by signing up I was also entered into the July 2008 free prize draw sponsored by Majestic Wine, to win a case of Heidseick Gold Top Champagne.

How about that for some easy summer fundraising?

Hamilton rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Ofsted logoCongratulations to the staff and children at Hamilton which has been judged as ‘outstanding’ in its latest Ofsted inspection report. As Headteacher Mr Reynolds points out, this puts the school “in the top 5% of schools in England”.

In the latest newsletter Mr Reynolds added: “I would also like to thank parents who were supportive of our school during the Ofsted process”.

The report isn’t yet live on the Ofsted website: the report on the last inspection on 28 February 2005 took just over two months to be published online. So, you can still read the last report.
