PTA (Parent, Teacher Association)

Welcome to the Park Grove Parent Teachers Association (PTA)

What is the PTA?

The PTA is a really important part of your school.

• It joins children, parents/carers, teachers and the local community together.
• It raises funds for the school allowing the children the opportunity to have experiences and resources they would not otherwise have access to.
• It organises social events to raise the funds which are essential to the welcoming atmosphere of our school – discos, fairs, quizzes, cake stalls and more…

The PTA is a registered charity and every parent/carer is automatically a member – there are no joining fees or forms. There are about 6 meetings a year where ideas for events, fundraising and spending money raised are discussed. The meetings are very informal, sometimes take place in a pub, and always involve food and drink. Everyone is welcome to attend meetings. Leave a message on facebook if you would like to get in touch.

For a completely voluntary charity the PTA raises an amazing amount of money for the school and has provided the children with some fantastic resources and experiences in recent years.

The PTA elects a Chair (or joint Chairpersons), a Treasurer and a Secretary every 2-3 years. They work on the administration and organisation of the charity. The continuing success of the PTA relies on lots of people being involved and helping out – even if it is just for half an hour at the summer fair or baking some cakes for a cake stall.

We look forward to welcoming you. Please join in!
