We held the first POWSA meeting of the new school year earlier this week and it was great to see many new faces (as well as some old ones), including the new Headteacher. We were delighted to be able to offer the school the opportunity to spend some of the funds that you have generously donated over the past years and look forward to seeing the new equipment, books and resources being put to good use for many years.

There were many ideas and activities discussed and it looks like we’ll be starting this new school year with a lot of activities and many opportunities our community to come together and enjoy the unique benefits that Prince of Wales School has to offer.

Full details of all activities will be published nearer the time but some notable dates for your diaries & calendars include;

29th September - Harvest Cafe – come & join the school as we help raise funds and awareness for the a charity chosen by the pupils themselves. This year the school are supporting the Dorchester Food Bank.

30th September – Community Makeover Day – meet at the roundhouse and wear suitable clothes for a bit of garden maintenance
