Below you will find our latest newsletters and minutes from our meetings.
We are always happy to receive enquiries and welcome any new members and suggestions for fund raising.
In previous years the PTA have raised much needed funds for the school through various activities and events including an Art Exhibition, Cookies in a Jar, the monthly Chocolate Raffle, the inaugural School Camping event and the always popular Christmas cards and craft items.
Funds raised have enabled the purchase of new outdoor picnic benches, the Pavillion outdoor learning space and ipads for the classrooms.
Please do not hesitate to contact us via the main school office or via our facebook page.

Our PTA are amazing because they build a strong sense of community, foster collaboration between parents and teachers, and support student achievement and well-being. The PTA are a vital part of our vision to ‘grow together’ and to offer ‘fulness of life’. They do this by:
Building Community: the PTA bring parents, teachers, and children together through social events, family activities, and collaborative projects, fostering a supportive network and school spirit.
Enhancing Communication: the PTA facilitate communication between parents and the school, keeping families informed about school activities, events, and important information. Supporting Student Achievement: The PTA often organize fundraising events to provide materials for classrooms, support academic programs by paying for resources or school visits and enhance the overall learning environment.
Promoting Advocacy: the PTA advocate for the children by suggesting and supporting extra-curricular activities and also for the local community by supporting events like Sydenham Fayre and Aston Rowant Patronal Festival. Creating Positive School Culture: by fostering collaboration and communication, our PTA contributes to a more positive and engaging school culture, which benefits everyone.
Encouraging Parental Involvement: our PTA provide opportunities for parents to get involved in their child's education and contribute to the school community.
Organizing Events: our PTA organise various events like welcome events for new families, end of term events, and family fun days, which help build community and raise funds for the school. We are so blessed to have an incredibly strong and proactive PTA. The work they have done, and continue to do, is incredible.
