Our PTA is made up of a group of elected parents and staff. Our school principal is our Honourary president. We aim to include all parents and staff in our operation by inviting parents and staff to share their skills and help at our events, eg. face painting, serving refreshments, being quiz master or compere at events. We publish monthly
newsletters and invite feedback as we believe good communication is key to PTA sucess. Our PTA organises several fundraising events throughout the year which are open to the Eglinton village community and welcome the support and participation of local business. We have funded fun events for the children after sports day for example and used funds to buy sports kits, play equipment ,computors and help subsidise school trips. The PTA agree expeniture of funds raised with the school principle to ensure maximum benefit to all pupils.
