Welcome to the Horsforth St. Margaret's PTA!

The Parents and Teachers Association, known as the PTA, operates independently from the school itself. However, we are an enthusiastic and engaged group with the goal of involving parents in the larger school community and providing assistance to the school in various capacities.

As a registered charity, all the funds we raise are dedicated to supporting the school and improving the overall experience for the children. 

 What's On PTA

Bags 2 School

Tuesday 4th June 2024

Your children will receive a bag from Bags 2 School during the last week of this half term. Simply sift through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate any unwanted textiles in the provided bag. Items accepted include adult and children’s clothes, shoes (please tie them together), hats, belts, handbags, and soft toys. For full details, please refer to the attachment.

If you fill the donation bag and still have more items to donate, feel free to use any other bag. And don't forget to encourage grandparents, friends, and neighbors to join in the effort!

Bags 2 School will be collecting from our school on July 4th . Please bring your bag (or bags!) to the drop-off point at the office entrance on the collection day , as we're unable to store them at school. Your help in making this collection a success is greatly appreciated.

We believe we can achieve even greater success with more families involved.

So please join us in making this event a resounding success!

The Great Knaresborough Bed Race


The Great Knaresborough Bed Race

The Knaresborough Bed Race is a mighty fancy dress pageant of decorated beds combined with a gruelling 2.4 miles course around Knaresborough; ending with a swim through the icy waters of the River Nidd. 

Support our team of Year 3 Mount Grace parents (with a Year 6 Byland passenger) as they take on this bed racing challenge and raise funds for the PTA.

This year's fancy dress theme is "Great Inventions And Technology Through The Ages"
