About Us
We are a relatively young PTA (September 2023). We are members of ‘Parentkind’ (Membership No. 173657), and we are currently in the process of applying for charity status.
Our purpose is to develop effective relationships between staff and parents, whilst engaging in activities to raise funds for facilities or equipment which support the school to advance the education of pupils.
We organise events throughout the academic year, varying from raffles to easter egg hunts to clothing collections.
We have a fantastic Chairperson, Becky Driver, who is very proactive. Becky is a parent and governor at the school and is supported by a varied committee. We are always networking and building relationships with local businesses and members of the community, to promote our cause.
Since September we have raised over £780 to help fund new books for the library and outdoor play equipment. Our fundraising continues….
There are monthly meetings held to plan our events and these are attended by our hardworking and dedicated team of members.
