We work hard to raise much-needed funds to improve the school environment, support learning, and help provide exciting extracurricular experiences for all at Coed-y-lan.

With your help and support, we’ve been able to achieve so much! Here are just some of the things we have been able to do through your generosity:

  • Raise money that has paid for new playground markings, enjoyed every playtime.
  • Fund outdoor learning sessions for every child in the school that have taken place in the beautiful garden with Rhys from Bearfoot and Beyond (which the children have LOVED!).
  • Pay for the buses to take the children on school trips to Colliers Adventure Farm and the Odeon Cinema.
  • Help provide little extras for class Christmas parties to make them special.
  • Support the school’s social action by subsidising the funds each class raises selling homemade crafts and edible treats to support buying gifts for children less fortunate.

How can you help?

We will gratefully accept your generous cash donations, but what we really need is your time. The PTA is a group of volunteers who give their time and energy to put on a huge variety of events and projects each year and we need more help to ensure we can keep these wonderful things going.

Don’t panic! You don’t have to sign your life away, and it’s not a part-time job! Just have a chat to the PTA team to find out how you can help in a way that works for you. Everything you do really matters. If you can spare any time to help, please send an email to Admin@Coed-Y-LanPrimary.rctcbc.cymru and let us know.

You can also keep an eye out for events and requests for help or donations by joining the Parents of Coedylan Facebook page (click on the Facebook icon to find the page).
