PTA

Your PTA

At St Peter and St Paul Catholic Primary Academy, our PTA plays an important role in bringing together parents, carers, staff and the wider school community in support of our children.

Our school mission,

“With Jesus at the heart, we learn, love and serve.”

extends to every member of our school family. Through the generosity of their time, talents and resources, our PTA provides a wonderful example of our values of Love, Respect and Service in action.

LOVE is shown through building relationships and creating opportunities for children and families to come together, celebrate and experience a strong sense of belonging.

RESPECT is demonstrated through working in partnership and valuing the contribution that every parent, carer and member of our community can make.

SERVICE is at the heart of our PTA. By volunteering, organising events, sharing skills and raising funds, parents and carers use their gifts for the benefit of others and contribute to the Common Good of our whole school community.

Supporting Our Children

Our PTA works to enrich the educational experience of every child at St Peter and St Paul while strengthening the relationships and sense of community that make our school special.

The Academy PTA, a registered charity have in the past made significant contributions toward enhancing various aspects of life at the Academy.  In past years we have donated £5,000 towards new gym flooring, purchased Chromebooks for children to use during their learning, constructed the now ever-popular ‘Book Nook’, and delivered the outdoor reading cabin. Most recently we topped up subject lead budgets and significantly were able to give the green light of the installation of some gorgeous wall art outside classrooms on the ground floor (see video below).

Our annual leaving gifts to Year 6 pupils have continued with financial support for their end of year bowling trip, plus £20 Amazon vouchers to bid them farewell to pastures new. All this in addition to recent smaller projects including purchasing globes for geography learning and musical instruments for use during music lessons.

None of this, however, would be possible without the support of parents, carers and the wider school community.

What do we want from you?

We’d love you to volunteer, socialise and buy those cakes and raffle tickets!  You can do as little or as much as you want, but if most parents/carers were able to help with one event during the whole year we would be able to promote a lot of events. If you are not able to  engage with Academy events, please engage with and support the various initiatives we run each term.

For those of you who work, please check your firm’s community pages. Will they sponsor us? Can they match the money you give us or pay for the hours you volunteer?  Can we support their product or service in return for their own support for us?

Also if anyone can sponsor a raffle prize or donate one, please let us know. Businesses benefit from tax relief through charitable donations - we can explain how.

What are we planning for the rest of the year?

Each year we host Christmas and Summer fairs and an Easter Fun Day and much, much more. Please keep an eye on the weekly newsletters every Friday for upcoming events, communications sent out on our behalf from the Academy, and of course the notice boards within the grounds.  We will be continuing with the ever popular Friday afternoon tuck shops and the Tuesday morning pre-loved uniform
pop-up shop - not to mention the after-school Mini Olympics club.
