... [more] [less]What your organisation does
Our PTA is made up of a group of elected parents and staff. Our school principal is also involved as an active volunteer. As a group we aim to include all parents and staff in our operation. We do this by inviting parents and staff to share their skills and help at our events, for example face painting at our Summer Fun Day or helping serve
refreshments at our Christmas Fair, or becoming quiz master at one of our quiz nights. We encourage parents and outside groups to use the PTA parents cabin for coffee mornings, relaxation classes and reading help. We believe that good communication is the key to our PTA success and we publish regular newsletters and updates. We also welcome feedback via questionnaires and online surveys such as survey monkey. Our PTA organise a number of fundraising social events throughout the school year which are open to pupils, parents, family, friends and the wider local community. Our calendar of events includes a Welcome Coffee Morning for new parents/guardians and grandparents in October, quiz nights which are held in the local tennis club and in the council buildings, annual Family Fun Day, Ladies Nights and end of year Summer BBQ. We work closely with local community businesses and welcome their support and participation at our events including our annual Christmas Fair and Summer Ball. Our PTA also offer a programme of activities throughout the school year including after school activities such as arts and crafts, sports and board games, design your own Christmas Card for the children, a School Calendar and an Easter Egg colouring competition. The PTA has developed outdoor play areas and growing space for plants and vegetables in the PTA greenhouse. The PTA agree expenditure of funds raised with the school principal to ensure the maximum benefit to all our pupils.
