If you came along to our Topic Review session this afternoon, thank you. We hope you enjoyed the session. If you’d like to leave some feedback, we’d love to read it. We pass compliments on to teachers and take on board suggestions.
Next up is some news from the PTA…
The current PTA is having a break this year due to the demands of work and family life but also because we don’t have enough parents on the committee. As well as help at events, we also need volunteers to attend PTA meetings and help organise the events. There are specific roles within the PTA that need to be filled (eg treasurer and chair person) but initially, we just need you to be part of it!
Over the years, the PTA has raised a lot of money. Because of this, we have been able to purchase things that our budget wouldn’t normally stretch to eg stage lighting; trim trails; and The Green. Your children would continue to benefit if you’re able to be part of the PTA so that it can carry on. If you’re able to be part of the PTA, or would like more information, please register your interest at the school office.
Please speak with Mrs Weekes or someone from PTA if you’d like to volunteer. In the meantime…
School Lottery
Tickets for School Lottery cost just £1 a week. There’s a guaranteed cash winner for our school every week and the chance to win £25,000 jackpot. Join our personalised school lottery. If you’re able to join, we’d really welcome any support. For every £1 spent, the school earns 40p.
Easy fundraising
Do you shop online? Did you know that every time you shop, you could be raising money for Moortown Primary PTA? Shop with any of over 3000 well-known retailers listed on easyfundraising.org.uk and a percentage of what you spend is passed to Moortown Primary PTA. Retailers include Amazon, Marks and Spencer, eBay, Tesco, Waitrose, and many more. It’s like ‘Nectar’ but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So, instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easy fundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend earns a free donation to us. It’s free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more. On average, each retailer donates 5% of the cost of your shopping – those donations soon mount up. Please register to support us while you shop!
Finally this week, a competition from Active Leeds…
We’re inviting children and young people across Leeds to get creative and celebrate their local leisure centres! 
At Active Leeds, we believe our leisure centres are more than just places to swim or work out… they’re spaces where memories are made, friendships grow, and confidence builds. From learning to swim to trying gymnastics for the first time, or simply spending time with friends, there are so many amazing experiences that happen every day in our centres.
We’re asking young people to share an experience they’ve had at their local leisure centre through art, writing, animation, or any creative way they like. It could be a drawing of their swimming lesson, a collage of their favourite activity, or even a short animation showing what makes their centre special.
The winning creation will receive a £50 Amazon gift voucher and be featured in our upcoming MADE IN LEEDS campaign, seen right across the city!
We want to highlight the joy, energy and sense of community that our centres bring to young people and their families. Who better to show that than the kids themselves?
Entries are open until 01 December 2025.
Simply send a photo or video of your entry to sport.webupdates@leeds.gov.uk.
