St Philip’s PTA
The St. Philip's Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a charity fundraising committee run by parents of children in the school and some of the staff. All parents automatically become members of the Association when their child joins the school.
What We Do
We run social and fundraising events to help raise money for little extras that make the children's learning more fun - in the last couple of years our projects have included playground equipment, class trips, in-school experience days and new books! We work with the Headteacher and the staff to identify areas where we can help.
Upcoming Events
We usually run a Winter Fair and a Summer Fair, with food, singing or music, a raffle, and pocket money stalls, where the children, their families, and the local community are all welcome. We have a Summer Disco at the school for the children, and we also organise termly cake sales after school. We also run social events – this year we had a family fun run in the park and served tea/coffee at school play performances.
Whatever we're planning, the details are included in the weekly school newsletters (emailed to parents each Friday) so that everyone knows about forthcoming events. We'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions about anything we could try – from a new stall to an idea for a whole new event.
Can You Help?
We are so grateful for all the help we get! We welcome all offers of help for setting up, running, and clearing away at events; but if that's not your cup of tea, maybe you could help by baking cakes for cake sales, donating a raffle prize, joining the Committee, or just by coming along to events and showing your support! If you can help in any way, please let us know – email pta.stphilips@gmail.com.
