Somerfords' Home and School Association (SHASA) is the Parent Teacher Association for Somerfords’ Walter Powell Primary School and Pre-School in Great Somerford near Chippenham. We support our wonderful small rural school by raising funds to enhance, enrich and improve the learning experience for every child.
Our current fundraising priorities are to help cover coach travel for educational trips, provide headphones to complement the iPads previously funded by SHASA, and strengthen music provision through new percussion instruments and specialist music days.
A fantastic Bunny Run and cake sale raised an incredible £1,350. Sunshine, great cakes and very colourful bandanas made for a memorable afternoon.
