What is the PTA?

A group of parents who meet monthly to discuss fundraising ideas and events for the children.

Why?

The money raised by the PTA helps to contribute towards the school and benefiting the children’s well being.

How?

We raise funds via events and activities such as discos, school fayres and children-led projects.

Teachers and pupils can put bids in for things they would like to buy for classrooms and playgrounds. PTA members decide which ideas will receive funding.

Recent Events

Failsworth Carnival

The PTA arranged a float for the school to participate in the Failsworth Carnival Parade. An amazing day was had by all the children, parents, staff and families involved. We won 1^st prize for being the Most Entertaining Float and 2^nd prize for the Best Overall Float! Wow!

Bag Packing at Tesco

Thank you to all of the children involved in the bag packing event at Tesco. We could only do one day due to the lack of adults to supervise, so we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Despite this, we still did incredibly well and raised an impressive £756.65. Well done everyone!

Glow Disco

A new event this year – replacing our usual Valentines Disco – proved hugely popular and raised a fantastic £828.

Christmas Fayre

Our Christmas Fayre was a popular event, held over both school halls due to the volume of children and families that attended. The event raised an impressive £1215.99.
