Each year we are fortunate to have a number of parents who form a representative committee to give their time and skill supporting the school in a variety of ways. Do come along and get involved. The PA team are a friendly bunch and work together brilliantly to support the school. Whether you have a couple of hours to help on a stall, have connections with suppliers or you love organising we’d love you to join us.

The Parents Association funds support the school in a number of ways  including the purchase of: resources for each class; mathletics subscription for every child; ice pop treats on sports day and small egg treats on school egg hunt day; theatre company visit to the school for an end of year treat; specific projects the school has identified (in the past this has included whole class music lessons for KS2, phonic books, computing hardware, special visitors to support the planned curriculum in a fun way).
