Aldersbrook Primary School :: Parent Teachers Association

Welcome to Aldersbrook Primary School’s P.T.A. Web Page...

Who are the P.T.A.?

Everyone who is associated with our school, Parents, Carers, Teachers, Non-Teaching Staff, Governors, even the Caretakers, are automatically members of our P.T.A.

What do we do?

The P.T.A. organise a wide range of both Fundraising and Social Events throughout the year. Fundraising Events raise money for the school to pay for much needed extras which benefit our children by enhancing the school curriculum and improving the school environment. Social Events provide the opportunity for the school community to get together and have some fun while raising extra funds for the school.

What do we spend P.T.A. funds on?

All of the funds raised by the P.T.A. are put directly back into the school. The Head Teacher, Teaching Staff and P.T.A. Committee get together to decide what to spend P.T.A. funds on at any particular time.

Here is a list of what our funds have been spent on so far this year:

Who manages the P.T.A.?

The P.T.A. is managed by a Committee of friendly and enthusiastic, volunteer Parents who work together with other parents and staff of the school to organise a wide range of both Social and Fundraising Events for the school throughout the year. Although we put a lot of time and energy into these projects, we have a great deal of fun organising them and our efforts are rewarded when the events are successful. We are always on the lookout for more volunteers to lend a hand, so if you feel you are able to help in any way please do not hesitate to contact us using the Contact Information shown below.
