Parent Teacher Assosciation (PTA)

Who is the PTA?

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a voluntary group composed of teachers and parents/carers from St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School (the School).

What does the PTA do?

The PTA supports the School by promoting activities and events, which bring parents/carers and their children together in a social, friendly setting. The PTA also stages these events to help raise extra funds for the School to spend on our children, including the Year 6 leavers.

Some of the PTA’s recent accomplishments have included the following:

• Contributed £150 per class to subsidize a class trip and reduce the cost to families
• Hosted annual school discos for each year group

• Promoted our diverse School community by celebrating cultures from around the world by organizing the annual International Evening
• Managed the annual Christmas Fair, which helps promote festive spirit whilst raising funds for the school.
• In addition, the PTA sell Christmas cards as designed by our children
• Raised funds for each class including Forest School and DT by hosting ice-lolly and cake sales

During 2024-25 the PTA is working to once again work together with parents/carers and teachers  to hold these and other events.  As you can appreciate, all these events take some organising. The PTA needs your help: new volunteers and ideas help to continue bringing new events and fundraisers to the School.

Upcoming Event - Christmas Fair Saturday 30th November 2024 2-5pm
