Welcome to the Blewbury School PTA

Charity Number: 1022468

The Blewbury Primary School Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) warmly welcomes you to our school community!

We are a dedicated and inclusive group of parents, guardians, and teaching staff with a shared mission: to raise essential funds that benefit every child at our school. Through a variety of social activities and events held throughout the year, we aim to foster a strong sense of community for our children, families, and school.

As a registered charity, we are overseen by the Charity Commission and you can find more information about our accounts and governance on the Charity Commission website: www.register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details

What We Do

Our PTA is instrumental in organising exciting fundraising events such as:

• Children’s Activities: Christmas Discos, Summer Fairs, cinema nights, and cake sales.
• Community Events: Quiz nights, Christmas card projects, and second-hand uniform sales.

All the funds raised directly support the children and their learning experience. Each year, we contribute to classroom resources, school trips, and larger projects. Also, when funding allows, we treat the children, for example, by arranging a visit from Reindeer at Christmas. Recent achievements include funding new Key Stage 1 play equipment, and we are currently raising funds for a new Key Stage 2 climbing frame, set to be installed in February 2025.

How You Can Get Involved

Each September, you will receive an invitation to our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where we welcome fresh faces and new ideas. Joining the PTA or becoming a Friend of the PTA is a fantastic way to:

• Get involved in your child’s school life.
• Meet other parents and guardians.
• Support our school community in a way that works for you.

Whether you’d like to join the committee or, as a Friend of the PTA, help at occasional events or assist behind the scenes, we appreciate any contribution of time or skills you can offer.

Why Join?

Being part of the PTA is rewarding, fun, and a wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact. Together, we can create memorable experiences for our children while enhancing their school environment.

We look forward to meeting you and working together to make a difference!

Warm regards,

The Blewbury School PTA Committee
