PTA
Everyone who is a teacher or a parent of a child at the school is a member of the PTA. The role of the PTA is to raise funds for the school and a great deal of thought goes into planning events and a wide range has been organised for everyone – we’ve had adult events, children’s events and events for families and the wider community. It is important to stress that not all of them are fundraising events.
The PTA relies on parents getting involved to run and support these great events – if you’re interested in helping out or would like to know more please contact a committee member or event organiser listed below.

The PTA have compiled a Skills Directory. (Improved formatting is in progress). If you would like to be included please tell us about your talents! (Skills Directory Form) Please fill out the slip and return to the PTA noticeboard with a business card if you have one & we will let you add you to the database or email your details to minchpta@live.co.uk. A paper copy of the directory can also be viewed via the school office.
