PTA | Stanton-in-Peak CE Primary School

The Parent and Teachers' Association


	The PTA is a dedicated and lively group of Stanton parents and teachers who plan fun family activities within school and the local community. Every year we raise a significant amount of money for school funds. This money enables our fantastic group of teachers to plan learning experiences for our children which may otherwise not be possible. The PTA meets regularly in the local pub to discuss new ideas and to plan our events. It is a great way for new families to get to know other parents and to get involved in school life.   In the past few years the PTA have:  Contributed over £5000 towards the purchase of computers and interactive whiteboards. Paid for over £1000 worth of Forest School equipment.  Bought new bookcases and beanbags for School House Library. Purchased 10 mini i-pads for use in lessons. Paid for additional music instruction in school. Paid for science experts to come into school. Paid for an illustrator to come and work with the children. Contributed towards the annual Christmas Pantomime Trip. Contributed £1000 towards the replacement of the outdoor play equipment. Paid for a PE kit for each Reception child.
	Our main fundraising event of the year is the refreshment stall at the annual Birchover Carnival in July. We also plan events throughout the school year including Sponsored Walks, Race Nights, Fashion Shows, Bake Sales and Raffles. Many hands make light work, and we are always looking for new members to help out! Please feel welcome and encouraged to come along to the next meeting. We would love to meet you.     Chair                      Janice Kingston (Adam’s mum) Secretary               Caroline Bishton (Saskia and Macy’s mum) Treasurer               Caroline Brook (Hamish and Zahra’s mum)
