This year our aim is to involve the students and parents to assertain what would be useful to raise funds for, in order to do that we need your help. We already have a bid in for a grant to build a climbing wall in the PE hall and an application has been made to secure funding for a Sendsory Garden. You can support our school by signing up to, Easyfundraising and the Co-Op funding. This won't cost you anything, but whilst you shop you are raising funds for our children and school. Thank you for your continued support.

MSPTA 50:50 Club

What is the 50:50 Club?

The 50:50 Club is a prize draw, run by the Minster School PTA, where three winners are selected at the end of each term. 50% of the cash we raise makes up the termly prizes and 50% goes towards essential resources for our school pupils.

How does it work?

Anyone who wishes to participate pays £10 per number per term. There will be a draw at the end of each term, whereby three numbers will be selected. The first prize is half of the prize pot for that term and the next two prizes equate to 25% each of the prize pot. There is no limit to the amount of numbers a participant may purchase and no maximum or minimum number of participants. It is simply £10 per number, per term. Numbers are allocated at random.

Who can join?

Membership is open to all parents, carers and staff. They must be aged 16 or over.

What do I have to do to enter?

Please complete payment using the school’s Parent Pay System Parent Pay Log In

Please remember to renew your number(s) every term. Numbers are allocated at random.

How do I get my number(s)?

Numbers will be allocated once payment is confirmed. Your number will be notified by email or text.

When will the prize be drawn?

The draw will happen in the last month of every term, at the PTA meeting. The lucky winners will be notified by email and/or text and/or phone call. They will be issued with a cheque/BACS payment for their winning amount. Winners’ first names, first letter of surnames and their number, eg: Alice A – 151 will also be announced in the Minster School’s Works newsletter and on the PTA Facebook page www.facebook.com/MSPTASouthwell
