Awbridge Primary School PTA

HELP NEEDED!

AGM Friday 11th October 2024, 9.15am

Awbridge Parent-Teacher Association has always thrived on the good will of the parents that have given their time and energy to support its fundraising activities. However, we’re currently depleted in numbers and struggling to comply with charity commission rules to keep running.

Do you enjoy the disco's, the fete's, the movie nights, to name but a few? These events are not run by the school, they are run by the incredible hard work of our PTA members. Without enough support for a PTA, these events will no longer be part of our school experience.

If you would like to join us or just have a few hours to spare we would be so grateful.

In order to comply with Charity Commission Rules and to continue to operate as a charity we need some core vacancies filled and at least 6 attendees at our AGM on Friday 11th October at 9.15am.

Please come along and find out what the PTA does and how you can help. We also promise nice biscuits and tea!

If you’re not able to make it on that date but would like to join the PTA or are able to help with future fundraising events please email the school office or awbridgeschoolpta@gmail.com and we’ll be in touch.

Many thanks,

Awbridge PTA

About

The PTA raise thousands of pounds each year through organising various activities and events for both the children and adults. From Summer Fetes, Christmas fayres, school discos and movie nights through to simple playground cake sales.

The money raised is used to provide extras for the children such as equipment and resources which would not otherwise be available within the school budget, to enhance our children’s education and enjoyment of school.

In recent years this has included funding Ipads and Chromebooks for use throughout each year group, funding the purchase of various resources for science and history, outdoor play equipment, creating an eco garden around our pond, providing money for new books and sports training, our MUGA (which enables us to continue with outdoor PE lessons in the winter months) our mile a day track which is hugely popular with the children and encourages year round fitness and most recently, AV equipment for our school hall, which allows for much better sound during assemblies and productions to name but a few.

If you would like some more information about our PTA, please call or email the School Office where we will answer any questions and put you in touch with other members.
