In June 2025 we asked parents and carers for their feedback to help us understand what we can do to make the PTA more valuable and acccessible to you as members and parents. 

We received 16 responses, all of which were entered into a prize drawer to win a voucher. 

🙏 Thank you to all who responded, it's both great to get some positive feedback and hear your ideas of what could make the PTA better.

💡Key themes:

Make it easier to get involved

• Joining meetings - It's okay to attend meetings if you have children present - so long as you're happy to! You can turn off your video and just listen in on mute, and join in when you feel comfortable.

• Agendas - The PTA will set an agenda for all open meetings, to help giving you a heads up on what's to be discussed.

• No judgement - Be be assured that no-one on the PTA is a professional 'PTA-er' - we're all just parents having a go. So please feel comfortable that there is no judgement, just an eagerness to get more involved.

• Meet & greets - PTA meet & greets just before school pick-up, with tea and coffee and a chance to find out directly about how to get involved.

Ideas of how we could spend our funds

• School trips, such as theatre visits

• New books

• Play equipment

• Quiz night

• Jigsawa night

• Reward days

• Technology

How to make it easier to attend meetings

• We will continue to run most of our meetings virtually, via Google Meet or Zoom.

• We will experiment with different times for meetings, which are typically in the evening as our Committee work full-time.

• You can absolutey join off-video and with children in the room.
