Donations to the School
The HSA is regularly able to provide extra funds to the school, to make it possible to purchase items that would not be possible using the government’s funding. In a typical year, the money we raise goes towards the purchase of equipment and teaching resources that benefit the children at Claydon Primary School and supports their growth and development at school.
For update information visit the HSA facebook page.
There are annual events which the HSA regularly funds:
- Since 2012 the HSA has contributed yearly towards the cost of the Year 6 leaving party, as a thank you for their contribution to the school and as a celebration of this important milestone.

- For many years, the HSA has added some little extras to make the school Christmas Dinner a more festive experience.
