How to support our PSA

Broughton Primary School's Parent Staff Association are a registered charity, Broughton Primary Trust, run by parent volunteers. Our charity number is SCO44041.

Through in-school events and online options we raise funds which primarily are gifted to the school in the form of The Cultural Fund. The Cultural Fund is £250 per class towards school trips and activities throughout the school year so that no student misses out on fun learning.

As well as The Cultural Fund, our PSA funds have also been spent in the past on:

• the Playground Craze's which are brought out every Friday lunchtime; 
• playground loose parts; 
• Health Week activities within school; 
• school wide Christmas events; 
• every year we fund our P7 coach to Lagganlia; 
• we upgraded playground picnic tables and bins; 
• during summer 2018 we helped upgrade the space under the After School Club.
