Parent Teacher Association

We have a vibrant and very supportive group of parents who work hard to ensure we have a proactive Parent and Teachers Association. The Association was formed a number of years ago to provide a further link between home and school and strengthen and develop relationships between all concerned. All families are automatic members of this association and we welcome grandparents who offer us so much.

Throughout the school year the PTA organises a number of functions to enable us all to mix socially and to raise very necessary funds for essential resources which enhance the school curriculum.

A PTA email account is available should you need to contact us [email protected]

Fundraising

The PTA regularly donates to the school, supporting school functions such as the Christmas Fair, the Easter Egg raffle, the First Holy Communion and the Summer Family Fun Night.

Over the last few years, they have given significant monetary contributions, including:

-covering part of the costs for trips for this academic year

-money for classes to use to purchase useful classroom and playtime resources

-buying new books for the new School Library and new books so that each class has a dedicated author

-money to support the ‘Grumpy Gardeners’ upkeep of school grounds

-significant contributions to subsidise our annual pantomime trip

-purchasing of liturgical altar cloths for classroom collective worship

-the purchase of the new school football kit

-purchasing of new digital video recording system and class ipads

Volunteers

We are extremely grateful for our regular parental and parish volunteers who come to school to listen to readers and support in class.

If you or a family member are able to offer support to school we would welcome you to contact the school office, Mr Conway or Miss Brady. Class teachers would really appreciate reading support, 2-3pm on one day per week.
