The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a volunteer group of parents and staff working together to support our school. The PTA helps raise funds for extra resources and activities, organises events to bring families together, and strengthens the link between home and school. Every parent and carer is welcome to get involved, and all contributions - big or small - make a real difference to our children’s experience.
