PTA Banner
The Parent & Teachers Association is here to support the school in providing a fun and enriching environment for pupils to learn. We run events throughout the year aimed at raising additional funds for the school to use for the benefit of the pupils and teachers. If your child is a member of the school family then you, as a parent or guardian, are a member of the PTA. The events we coordinate and run throughout the year are done on a voluntary basis so we rely heavily on everyone’s support, in whatever shape or form that is.
We normally schedule our meetings around events. In the past we have arranged these during school hours, either just after drop-off in the morning or pick-up in the evening. This year we will trial an evening meeting, most likely at The Royal Oak pub to hopefully encourage more people to come along. We know people can’t always make the meetings but we will make sure that everyone knows what we have discussed so you can support us in whatever way you can. Notes from all meetings will be available on the website.
If you have any ideas or questions please don’t hesitate to get in contact with either Louise McGuffie (Chair of the PTA) or Ms Bowring through the school office.

This included the following:
Corner playhouse, cushions, slated music wall, CD player and headsets, throne, shelving, waterproof mats, Perspex painter, windmill chalk table and seats, water tables and pump, water channels and stands, mud kitchen, sand space and play sand, construction barriers, stage and backdrop.
The EYFS children are very happy with their beautiful new equipment.
