Our Mission

To support the school with advancing the education and welfare of its pupils.

Our Role and Objectives

Working in partnership with the staff and the parents to understand the best way that we can provide additional resources in an era where public funding is challenging.

Our main method of supporting the school is to raise funds to provide equipment and services.

All parents and teachers are members of the PTA and all members are encouraged to participate in the activities organized by the PTA.

The PTA is run by a committee comprising a mix of parents and representatives from the school.
