About Us:

What is the PTA?

The Parent Teacher Association is an open community of parents volunteers working alongside the school and its staff to benefit the school and ensure the best educational experience for all its pupils.

How does the PTA benefit the school?

Parents and carers have a big impact on how much their child makes progress at school. Taking an active role in your PTA is one of the ways you can make a difference and get involved:

• We raise money to fund school initiatives through activities and events   

           Our events throughout the academic year raise money to helped support school trips, performances and workshops in school, extra reading books and a new PA system.

           We have also helped secure a grant from the National Lottery's Awards for £9999.00 to help transform the stage area into a multi-functional space providing a much needed quiet area to support the children's learning.

• We provide a social support network for parents
• We provide a forum for parents to meet to discuss and plan activities that are fun for our families but that also help to support the school

Our  Future Events:

Our PTA takes pride in ensuring the children have fun raising money for school. We try to make events affordable for parents and enjoyable for everyone.  

Saturday 13th May 2023 - May Summer Fair 12pm - 2pm.
