In the charity's own words
The PTA primarily raises funds to help the school provide extra resources for the benefit of the pupils at the school. It is also a way for parents to become more involved with their childrens school. We run a variety of social events throughout the year for parents, children and the wider community; providing an opportunity for people to meet, to get to know each other and have fun.
