PTA

Parent Teachers Association (PTA)

The PTA is a very friendly group of people who actively support the school to raise money to benefit the pupils, teachers and support staff at Ralph Butterfield Primary School. We are also a registered Charity (1182616).

We raised an incredible £13,300 last year from some fantastic fundraising events for the children, their families and the wider community and through applying for local grants.

Events throughout the year normally include Film nights, Break the Rules Days, Discos, Summer Fair, Christmas Eve bags, Mother / Father’s Day secret rooms, Book Fairs, summer ice pop sales and second-hand uniform sales. In addition, this year we organised a Quiz night at the Parvin, a Big Christmas raffle and hot chocolates after school.

Recently the PTA have purchased for the school:

● Laptops and Laptop charging units

● New Projector screen in the school hall

● School trips

● Over 200 books

● 2 iPads for Reception

● Shed for the School garden

● Actress on Roman day and Viking day

● Year 6 Activity day

● A commemorative Kings Coronation pin badge for each pupil

● School Book Bags and gifts for all new starters in Reception

This year we are going to be busy fundraising to develop the school outdoor spaces including the school playground.

Would you like to join the PTA?

We understand that life is pretty busy when you have a child at school, but joining the PTA has many benefits, such as:

· Puts you in direct communication with other parents and teachers

· You get to know the school better

· You are helping to contribute towards your child’s education and school

· Meet and enjoy the company of other parents and carers

You can of course join the PTA committee as a member (our AGM is in September/October each year) and we have monthly meetings to catch up, discuss new ideas and organise future events.
