As we continue to develop and enhance our educational environment at Oldcastle Primary School, and we want to emphasise the critical role our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) plays in our school's success. Every parent is automatically a member of the PTA, and your participation is instrumental in creating an enriching experience for our pupils.

The PTA is far more than a fundraising committee; it is a vital conduit for community engagement and school improvement. In the past year alone, funds raised have directly contributed to significant enhancements such as leavers hoodies, rewards day events and the purchase of new main hall chairs, demonstrating the tangible impact of parental involvement.

Participation is remarkably flexible. Whether you can spare 30 minutes to help at an event, design a poster, distribute letters, or simply share an idea, your contribution matters. You need not attend formal meetings; our PTA welcomes input through various channels. The PTA have a What’s App group that shares ideas and you can easily be part of this.

The benefits of involvement extend beyond financial support. By engaging with the PTA, parents create a robust network, connecting with like-minded individuals committed to improving our school. It's an opportunity to make a meaningful difference, utilise your unique skills, and model community participation for our pupils.

Importantly, we welcome involvement from all parents  - mothers and fathers alike. Your diverse perspectives and skills can help us create a more inclusive and supportive school environment.

PTA events are not just about fundraising; they're about creating lasting memories. Our children's time at primary school is relatively short, but the memories and resources we create together will resonate throughout their lives. 

We  encourage every parent to consider how they might contribute to our PTA and, by extension, our school's continued success.
