Parents
Parent Teacher Association
The Parent Teacher Association is a group of parents/guardians and staff who regularly meet voluntarily, at least once a term, to discuss and organise fun and exciting activities for the children and parents of the school to enjoy.
PTA meetings are either held face-to-face or via Zoom and everyone is welcome to attend. We actively welcome and encourage new ideas and suggestions - the more the merrier! The longevity and success of the PTA is only possible with volunteers! All our events are advertised on our website www.pta-events.co.uk/westhaddonpta and we have an active private Facebook page - West Haddon Primary School PTA.
Our main objective is to build closer relations between parents/guardians and teachers whilst raising funds to support our primary school and nursery. Funds raised are used to provide much needed resources and facilities to benefit the children and staff of the school. Previously the PTA worked closely with the school to support the build of the spectacular school sports hall, provide musical instruments and give a yearly donation to the Year 6 leavers. Most recently, the PTA have supported the school very closely with updating their outside learning space to give the children the best facilities and apparatus to support them in play and structured learning. We designed and fundraised for a solid wooden castle that now stands proudly at the top of our school field and next to it the new, brightly coloured fixed play that has been completely replaced and loved by the children from Nursery all the way up to Year 6! In the future we are hoping to raise enough money to invest in solar panels for the school, which will help to manage escalating energy costs as well as being better for our planet.
The PTA at West Haddon Primary School continues to be a fundamental part of the the school community and consider ourselves to be successful thanks to the support from the school, children, parents and guardians. Throughout the years we have changed and adapted, but favourite events include discos, film nights, race nights for adults and wreath making.
We are a friendly, small group of like minded people wanting to make a positive difference. If you would like to get involved with the PTA, volunteer your help at forthcoming events, or make any suggestions regarding future events, then please contact the school office where your details will be passed to the PTA Chairperson.
