THE SUNFLOWER FEDERATION PARENT STAFF ASSOCIATION

AND FRIENDS AT BREAKSPEARE

 

 

The Sunflower Parent Staff Association (Registered Charity Number 292432) raises funds to support Breakspeare School and Meadow Wood School.

 

Within it, Friends at Breakspeare (FAB) specifically raises funds for and supports pupils, parents, carers and staff at Breakspeare School (Abbots Langley and Holywell sites).

 

All parents, carers, and staff at Breakspeare School are members of FAB and the Sunflower Federation Parent Staff Association.

 

WHAT WE SUPPORT

 

  • Improve school facilities, such as the sports hall, outdoor play areas, sensory room, and swimming pool.
  • Curriculum enrichment including the purchase of cars for school outings, school clubs (lego, dance, yoga, etc…), crafts and drama materials, etc…
  • Therapy equipment purchases such as two portable OmniVista sensory setups and two Acheeva beds
  • Expanding the therapy provision and training for staff and parents.
  • Friday FAB coffee mornings that are a mix of social and information events. Parents and carers of new children find it an excellent opportunity to become involved with the school and meet other parents.
  • Patents and carers via a friendly Breakspeare PSA Parent WhatsApp group to share information and feel understood
  • Partnership with Ella Support Loop to access their Artificial Intelligence to help prepare for EHCP annual reviews, fill out applications (i.e. PIP), draft SEN emails, and a lot more!

Decisions on what to support with the funds raised are made yearly at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) around November. All parents, carers and staff are invited to participate in decision making.
