Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The PTA is a group of parents and teachers who aim support the school and enhance the experience of the pupils. This involves:

Raising money to fund projects and provide equipment
Events such as the Summer and Christmas Fairs and a regular 200 Club draw have raised a substantial amount of extra money for the School. In the last few years this has been spent on:

• An electric kiln for the Art Department
• Display Boards for the Entrance Hall
• IT Equipment
• Benches and Tables for the Playground
• The School Minibus
• Year 7/8 School Performance at Evesham Arts Centre
• Microphones for the School PA System
• Books and Educational Items to enhance the children’s education

Parents of the PTA also help with school activities - such as helping to serve the children’s Christmas lunch, accompanying children to the school carol services, manning the tuck shop for school discos and film nights etc.

The time commitment is small – The PTA meets about 4-5 times a year (certainly no more than once every half term). Each meeting lasts about an hour. Parents who cannot attend meetings but would be able to help out at school events are also very welcome.

The PTA is a friendly group – very welcoming to new members! If you can offer to help, either by joining the PTA or by assisting at events, please email or call the school office, who will pass your details on to me. If you cannot spare the time to help, please support us by joining the 200 Club.

Current projects include plans to help restock the School Library, financially supporting the Year 7/8 performance and applying for a grant to build an outdoor classroom/performance/meeting area.
