Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

Welcome to the Stapleford Primary School Parent Teacher Association main page. We hope that you find the information useful.  If you have any comments then please contact us via the school.

All parents, guardians and teachers of children at Stapleford Primary School are automatically members of the Parent Teachers Association (PTA).

The role of the PTA is fund raising for our school, organising social events and  providing links between parents, teachers, and children, and with our local community

The Association is run by a committee of parents and teachers, which meets once each half term. The parents representatives are elected a the Annual general meeting usually held in September.  Each class has a representative who acts as the link between parents and the committee

The association notice board is located by the entrance to the back playground from the main school block and there is a PTA post box outside the School secretary's office.

What does your Parent Teacher Association (PTA) do?

It meets at least once a term, either for social or fund raising events (usually both)

Why does your PTA exist?

To :-

    raise money for your school. What the PTA has provided with funds raised

    organise social events. Social events for 2006/7.

    provide links between parents, teachers and children, and the local community. PTA newsletters

Why should you become involved?

Your PTA has raised funds for things such as

    * the heated outdoor swimming pool

    * the computer suite

    * the playscapes

    * the Key Stage 1 all weather sand pit. 

Clearly our children benefit form the such activities and further fund raising is required to enhance our school.  Also being on the committee and helping out at events means that you you get to know lots of other parents (and teachers) in our school.

How do you become involved?

There are a variety of ways to be involved :

    * you can be a committee member - Post holders include Chair, Treasurer Secretary, Catering team and people who come to the meetings.  PTA minutes

    * you can be a class representative - this role is to liaise between the Committee and parents, undertaking such roles as finding people to run stalls at the Summer Fair.

    * you can organise a specific event.  Like  a craft fair, KS2 Discos, new uniform sales and second hand clothes sales, of or any other activity you can think of.  The PTA committee will then help

    * help out when ever you can.

    * come along to events, enjoy yourself at these events and spend money!
