The Committee is elected at the Annual General Meeting, held each year, and is made up of parents, members of the teaching staff, one of whom is the Headteacher, and a representative from the Governing Body. Parent members can be all parents/guardians of pupils attending the School, Governors, past parents, grandparents, friends of the School or support staff. If you would like to get involved with the PTA, please ask for contact details from the school office. We always welcome help on a regular or ad-hoc basis.
The Association usually meets once a term and discusses a variety of topics which includes a Financial Report, a review of past events, a preview of future events and ‘Any Other Business’. At the first meeting of the school year the Headteacher usually provides the Committee with a suggested ‘Spending and Projects List’. The Committee considers the list against its criteria for supporting the school and votes on the items it wishes to support taking into account available and expected funds.
This list includes not only equipment for the School, e.g. computer items, sports apparatus, library books etc. but also the funding of special events such as visits from theatre groups and guest speakers.
