The PTA (Parent Teacher Association), is a fundraising community that provides equipment, facilities and experiences for St Mary’s children in support of our school's values and curriculum.

We want to enrich each child’s learning journey by raising funds for the school. In the past years this has included funding for new Curriculum days, iPads, play equipment, phonics books and trips and events for the children.

The PTA is an integral and inclusive part of the school. Every parent and member of the school community is welcome to get involved by coming along to our meetings and/or volunteering to help at our fun events. We aim to create a friendly community environment with social opportunities for all.

As a registered Charity we hold an AGM (Annual General Meeting) every September where we set out aims and priorities for the three terms of the academic calendar. We also meet regularly throughout the school year.

 

Our volunteer leadership team includes:

• Chair - Carly Bartlett & Katherine Tinkler
• Secretary - Melissa Paterson
• Treasurer - Melanie Thornton

We enjoy a close partnership with our school and are supported by Headteacher and office staff.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please get in touch: office@stmaryallsaints.co.uk
