How to get involved
We are a group of parents and carers working together to enrich school life - from funding important projects like outdoor spaces and I.T. to ​​creating fun memories at events for the whole community.
​
Being part of the PTA doesn't have to mean a huge commitment - there are ways you can help that fit around your schedule, interests and energy levels. Whether you'd love to lead something or just help out occasionally - there's a place for you here. Everything makes a difference.
