Breakfast Club at Castlepark Primary School gives pupils a settled start to their school day with fun activities and a healthy nutrious breakfast. The Breakfast Club runs each morning with healthy options for Breakfast followed by activities such as sports games, arts and crafts and board games.

Castlepark Primary School Parent Council are applying for £1000 of funding to support the daily running of Breakfast Club. The funding will purchase new resources for Breakfast Club along with food to support the provision for the school year. 

Breakdown of Costs

£150 - Resources/games/toys

£850 - Food provision for Breakfast Club

We would like to develop the area for forest school, allowing the family learning programme to continue, with den making, outdoor cooking and growing.  The following items would be required: Outdoor tarpaulens £100, den-making kit £120, discovery table £250, explorer kits £150, outdoor cooking equipment £180, outdoor storage £200.  This would allow the pupils to utilise these facilities in their learning and in their playtime.  In addition, with coordination from the eco group and family learning, they will be able to continue with learning for sustainability and allowing parents/ carers and siblings to access these lessons as after school workshops.  These have been very successful in the past at bringing our school community together, but requires some additional funding for the resources.  Unfortunately, some our outdoor features were vandalised recently and now need to be secured in outdoor storage.

Strips £450

Zip tops £200

Meals subsidised for the 3 days £324 (£6 per day per boy )

We would like to provide sports clothing to the young people in the Irvine area to allow them to have access to free sporting sessions.  As a Sports Council we provide a range of the activities (most are not at capacity) but we currently cannot provide the sports kit to allow some young people the ability to access. We feel under capacity is likely to be due to them not having kit. 

Cheap dri-fit sports tshirts = approx £6 -7 per item.  

Cheap dri-fit sports shorts =approx £7 per item 

We would look to help up to 100-120 pupils and would look to variety of sellers to try and get best deal.  From our inital research we can buy this for reasonable price and we would go for best, and cheapest, to get us the most amount of items.  

This will then allow them to access the 12-15 sports clubs that we run.  

The project is to be able to provide all schools within the cluster with range of sporting equipment to help provide the best quality of clubs possible. It will also provide t-shirts for leaders to make them easy to identify to pupils and staff when taking the club. The t-shirts will help the leaders also feel part of a community and sense of representation when out coaching in the local schools. 

T-shirts and printing = £500

Variety of Equipment - £500

3 teams from the Isle of Arran will travel to the mainland to compete in 3 different competitive tournaments. Young people from Arran rarely get the opportunity to play competitive sport, down to the lack of teams on the Isle of Arran, as well as the challenges around travel. We’re thrilled to be able to offer this to over 50 young people on the island.

To be able to do this, we’d need financial support for the following –

Transport costs (Bus/Boat) - £250 per match

Referee hire - £50 per match

Equipment (bibs/balls/cones/kit) - £100
