We've got some exciting news to share with you..

Parentkind – a charity that supports school PTAs - have teamed up with Asda, who is making millions of pounds available to donate to primary schools across the UK through their ‘Cashpot for Schools’ initiative. To support our PTA, all you have to do is opt-in through the Asda Rewards app, choose our school, shop and scan in store or shop online at Asda.com.

Between 2nd September and 30th November 2024 – every time you shop with Asda using your Asda Rewards app, Asda will donate 0.5% of the value of your shop to Cromer Road School. Also, every time somebody opts-in to support our Primary school, Asda will give an additional £1 to the school Cashpot. Plus, it doesn’t stop there – Asda are also giving £50 to every school to get them started.

The supermarket has joined forces with Joe Wicks to support the initiative – look out for the TV advert, radio ads and social media coverage!

It’s as easy as 1,2,3

1. Download the Asda Rewards App, register and opt-in to Cashpot for Schools (make sure you have the latest version of the app installed)

2. Choose Cromer Road School – either searching by name or postcode EN5 5HT

3. Shop instore across Asda and George, or online at Asda.com and start filling your Cashpot as you shop

Asda does the rest, all money raised will be donated to the school to spend on the things they need the most.

Remember, anyone can sign up – so start spreading the news and raising funds for our school.

This initiative is on top of the existing Asda Rewards benefits you get as a shopper – so you won’t lose out on any of your own earnings or Cashpot, so everyone is a winner!

Garden Project Update

Over the summer break there has been a lot happening in the new garden! The wildflower meadow is looking beautiful right now with cornflowers, poppies, daisies to name just a few. We have been adding oxygenating plants to the pond as well as having a solar powered oxygenator - which the resident fox seems particularly fascinated by! The sun has shone and there has been a bumper crop of a variety of delicious tomatoes - beef steak, cherry and money makers as well as some huge courgettes, and beetroot on the way. The pupils have been enjoying some ‘school grown’ tomatoes at break times this first week back. We will be planning which vegetables to grow across the seasons for the children to enjoy seeing and hopefully tasting too! Go to Garden Project Page
