bartspa — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:35:38 +0000

Huge thanks are due to everyone who worked so hard to make the Bart’s Arts evening at the Corn Exchange such a success. Over 170 students were involved in an evening of dance, drama and music and a wonderful display of art work was organised in the Corn Exchange’s display area from the Tuesday to Saturday of the week. We have received lots of very positive comments about the event, including a number from the Corn Exchange staff who were very impressed by the enthsiasm and behaviour of our students and the standard of their peformance.

Presentation

bartspa — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:37:58 +0000

At its first meeting of 2009 the l Parents’ Association presented Headteacher Stuart Robinson with a cheque for £22,924.00. The funds will be used to pay for a wide range of items requested by departments at the school, including costumes for the dance department, a printing press, computers, microscopes, cameras, equipment for the school’s Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme and games for the after school club. The total includes a contribution of £2000 towards an Ad Lucem book fund, which will acquire new books for the library in the new St Bart’s building, and £2000 towards a sculpture project, also related to the new school.

Stuart Robinson said he was delighted that the Parents’ Association members hard work had resulted in such a significant contribution to school funds, adding that the items that would be bought would make a real difference to students.

During the meeting Andrew Cooper completed his term as PA chairman to be replaced by Richard Deal (holding cheque, on the left).
