Here is a summary of what Knaphill Schools PTA has funded/arranged funding for in the past few years:

Junior School Green Screening

Over the Summer of 2024, around 100m of green screening was installed around the junior school grounds – completely transforming the large and small playgrounds of the Knaphill School and creating a beautiful natural space for the children. 

Junior School Library School Renovation

In 2024, we successfully renovated our Junior School library. A team of volunteers from the PTA used funds and donations to decorate and transform the old ICT suite into a new reading forest.

Canopy at the Junior School

After several years of fundraising, in 2021 we successfully oversaw the installation of a canopy at the Junior School. The canopy is large enough to provide a sheltered area for outdoor learning and lessons, outdoor dining and a much needed sheltered area in summer and wet weather.

New Lower School Library

PTA funding was used to refurbish the Lower School library, with a woodland themed area where children can explore, enjoy and reading.

Outside Play Areas

Outside play equipment and areas are such a valuable resource for Early Years learning. In 2017-2018, the PTA raised funds to purchase play equipment and equipment for the Early Years outside area to give our youngest pupils an exciting area to play and learn in outdoors.

Wooden Enclave

The PTA donates money and time to help with the upkeep of the wooden enclave in our Lower School, which is used for Forest School and outdoor learning. The PTA also contributes towards the green spaces at our Junior School. Volunteers from the PTA offer their time to help maintain these areas during the monthly Green Mornings.

Junior School Playground

In 2019, the PTA provided funds for new benches (made from recycled plastic) and new raised planters in the Junior School playground to improve this area for pupils.

Defibrillators and First Aid equipment

In 2019 and 2020, teams of parents, staff and pupils took part in the Surrey Half Marathon events to raise money to purchase two defibrillators for our schools. Money from the 2020 Surrey Half Marathon was used to purchase first aid equipment for use in school.
