What is a Parent Teacher Association (PTA)?

PTA stands for Parent Teacher Association, a school-based organisation with a mission to make the school a better place for children to learn. Parents of students work together with teachers to volunteer in classes, raise money for school supplies, and generally support the school's efforts.

North Beckton Primary School now has a PTA.  They have worked hard to organise and raise funds for Mucopolysaccharide diseases - MPS II and supported other events within the school.  We are hoping that this continues in the coming year.  Your support is greatly appreciated. 

How is Money Raised?

Most PTA's raise money through events. They often hold one main event each school term – for example, the Winter Fayre or selling hot chocolate with the School Council to raise money for a named charity. We are always looking for new fundraising ideas!

How Can I Be Involved in my PTA?

There are many different ways you can help with the PTA, whether you have lots of time to offer or not.

Some of the roles are time-consuming, although also rewarding. If you can’t commit to a big job, look out for things you can do less frequently (e.g. running a stall at the summer fair, baking for a cake sale). And you can always support PTA events by simply turning up!
