Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

December 2025

The PTA comprises a small group of volunteers who, in consultation with the school staff, arrange fundraising activities on behalf of the school. The proceeds of which are used to purchase additional items for the school and to subsidise school outings and educational workshops. Over the past few year this has included:

•  Outdoor trim trail;
•  Developing the Sensory Garden;
•  Subsiding school trips;
•  Outdoor trampolines;
•  iPads and cases;
•  Football goals and sports equipment;
•  First Aid Training for all pupils in year 2 and over;
•  Purchasing cooking equipment to run a cooking club.

The PTA are an active organisation and are committed to making a difference for all the children at the school. We are aware of funding constraints within education and hope that by giving up some of our time and working with the staff, we can arrange and host events and activities to raise funds to provide the extra facilities, resources and equipment that will help to make the school a better place. This, in turn, will enhance our children’s educational experience.

In the past year the PTA have arranged, and supported, the following events:

•  Movie nights;
•  School Discos;
•  Doughnut / cake and ice lolly sales;        
• Colour run;
• Christmas and Summer raffles;
• Mother’s day , Christmas & Father’s day gift shops.

The PTA is a registered charity is required to operate within certain statutory guidelines. These include the submission of financial information (on an annual basis) to the Charity Commission. The AGM is held during September/October, where elections take place for the appointment of post holders, such as Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer.

The PTA has a small amount of members and without parents/carers help we wouldn’t be able to continue. Should this happen, the cost of school trips etc would be made more expensive to the parents/carers.

If you would like to join the PTA but are concerned you don’t have a lot of time to give, don’t worry, every little helps. We have a WhatsApp group of helpers, where we post when we need help for each event. We don’t expect you to be there for every event. Helping might also be popping to the shops for items, wrapping gifts, designing a poster etc. If you would like to be part of the PTA please let your class rep know.
