PTA
FUN raises money for the school to contribute towards new equipment, resources and many school trips to enhance our children’s education. FUN is about much more than just fundraising. It provides a close link between home and school, and brings staff and parents together on a social level. All parents and members of the school community are urged to get involved, even if you only have a small amount of time every little helps.
“Our FUN Association has been an important part of Unicorn Schools community since the school opened in 2003. I am very proud to endorse the work of the FUN association as it truly reflects the ethos of Unicorn School. FUN is about more than being a fundraising organisation. It is about encouraging all our family to become active members of the school community to not only work to benefit all our children but also to have FUN! I urge you to come and join us”
Mrs Robertson, Head Teacher, Unicorn Primary School.

Riverford Organic Veg Box Company
Riverford, the organic veg box company, will donate £25 to the school for every parent who becomes a customer, on their 3rd delivery. Veg boxes are a great way to encourage children to try new things and get them interested in where their food comes from. The veg changes with the seasons and comes with weekly recipe inspiration. From £11.45 with free home delivery. Please see the letter below to find out how to sign up.
Match Funding
If you volunteered for the fair, we can increase the amount we have raised by even more through match funding! How can we increase this amount? Well if you work for a company that offers a fund matching scheme (it's worth checking with your Human Resources team if your company does), we'd love to hear from you! If four people came forward we could possibly raise another £2000! Do get in touch with FUN.
