PTA

Magic Wand Our PTA is a very important part of our school and has recently become a registered charity. 
Magic Wand It is a friendly fundraising group who meet approximately once a month. The Association is made up of parents and members of staff, although carers and grandparents are welcome to join to. Although it can be hard work, being a member of the PTA is rewarding, fun and can be a great way to meet other parents.  
Magic Wand The aim of the PTA is to raise funds for the school to pay for equipment and projects for the benefit of all the children which would not otherwise be provided. Pictures of our events and purchases can be seen below. We also offer experiences for the children which are purely for fun. Events we organise include The Christmas Fair and Family Fun BBQ evening, Children's discos, cake bake sales, Mad March Hair Day and Quiz Nights.
Magic Wand We have recently been working on a project to provide an outdoor performance area for the children and to update the outdoor equipment and furniture.
Magic Wand If you would like to know more about the PTA, have any ideas for fundraising events or ideas for items you think the PTA may be interested in purchaseing, then please leave details with the school office. You can contact any member of the PTA through the office.  A list of current PTA members is available below.
