PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA)

The committee of Egginton Primary School PTA would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to parents, families and friends of our new pupils.

 

As parent, you automatically become members of the PTA - this is not as daunting as it sounds! We hope this information will clarify the role of the PTA and highlight ways in which parents can become involved, if they wish. Please take time to read it – members of the committee will be pleased to answer any further questions you may have.

 

What is the role of the PTA?

 

We organise and run fund-raising events to provide financial support for the school, enabling the purchase of equipment, resources and subsidising trips. We support the school with social events and activities for the children. We aim to forge closer links between school, home and the local community, with a common goal of enhancing the children’s educational and social experience.

​

Committee

 

Our committee consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and a number of elected members. Elections to these roles are held at our AGM in September. A list of current committee members is available in the school office. We meet at least once every half term to discuss and plan events, review financial incomings and outgoings and consider any other issues. These are informal, evening meetings, usually held at school They are advertised in the school newsletter or on a notice board and all parents are welcome.

​

How we raise money

 

Ongoing fund-raisers include non-uniform days and a lottery.  Annual events include having a sweets and goodies stall at the village Bonfire Night fireworks display, miscellaneous fundraisers, quiz nights, fun days and bingo to name a few.

​

Not all Fundraising!

 

We support the teaching staff with events such as the Christmas party and sports day etc. We’ve organised school discos and we’ve even redesigned and planted the school allotment and garden!
