## **2.  Objectives of the PTA** 

Our Lady’s Roman Catholic Combined School Parent Teacher Association (‘the PTA’) is a registered charity run by a committee elected each year at the Annual General Meeting, held in the Autumn term.  All parents or guardians of children at the school are members and it is dependent on a continuous cycle of parental involvement. 

The objective of the PTA is to advance the education of the pupils at the School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education (not normally provided by the Local Education Authority) and as ancillary thereto and in furtherance of this objective the Association may: 

- Foster more extended relationships between the staff, parents and other associated with the School; and 

- Engage in activities which support the School and advance the education of the pupils attending it. 

## **3.  Fundraising and events organised** 

A number of events were organised during the year for the staff, parents, children and others associated with the school to enjoy. 

- Fayres – two traditional school fayres were held during the year; the Hollyberry Fayre held in December. The fayre had a variety of stalls with games, refreshments, toys/gifts to buy, a candlelit performance from the school choir. In addition, the PTA held a summer fayre entitled ‘The Strawberry Fest’, which included two BBQ’s, refreshments, games, face painting, bouncy castle and live music performances. 

- Voucher Scheme – parents/families associated with the school are given the opportunity to purchase a store gift card and in return the PTA receives commission. This scheme is our top fundraising item. 

- Children’s Friendship Disco – this year we held the children’s disco in October & February. This event gave the children an opportunity to mix in an informal social setting for KS1 and KS2. 

- Cake sales – throughout the year, each class hold a cake sale.  This is a great fundraiser event and a real treat for the children at the end of the school day.  The PTA is incredibly grateful to those parents who bake and supply cakes for these events. 

- Christmas & Mothers day gift room – Children were able to select a pre-wrapped gift, which was ready for giving to their parents for Christmas and to their mother’s on Mother’s Day. 

- International Day was held in May. It is one of our most well attended events and showcases our school’s diversity and welcoming community. We also brought in an outdoor circus company who provided circus skill workshops during the day and ran a performance in the evening.
