Parent Teacher Association

About Us:

The Park School is proud to have an active Parent/Teachers Association.  The Association organises a number of events during the year to provide parents, pupils, staff and friends of the school with an opportunity to meet, socialise and have some fun. Our aim is to promote friendship and fellowship between all associated with the school.  We also raise funds, which are used to benefit the pupils and help enrich their education.  Over the years the PTA has provided the school with a wide and diverse range of equipment.  Examples of recent purchases include a CD player for Drama, projector for Science Department, squash equipment, volleyball nets, weather instruments for Geography, drying racks for artwork, junior activity bags and library books.

If you have a child at the school you are automatically a member of the PTA.  The committee meets at the school about twice a term, usually between 4.15pm –5pm on a Tuesday or Thursday evening.  New faces and fresh ideas are always welcome.  If you are unable to make the meetings and have ideas to share or would like to be involved in any way, please contact one of the committee as detailed at the bottom of this page.

Past Events:

The PTA would like to thank all Staff, Parents and Friends for their support over this last School year.

 We have enjoyed some marvellous events and raised enough money to purchase for the school; a telescope, digi-box, DVD player, mobile cooker, a contribution to a printer for the boarding house, outside storage containers, a projector, squash equipment, new trestle tables, library books, mural paints, Christian books and £300 towards the license required to run the software for Key Stage 3 Maths course. Phew!  (and we still have a little money left).

World Book Day

To celebrate World Book Day, pupils in our junior years came to school came to school dressed as their favourite book characters.  The children loved showing off their costumes and sharing with each other the exploits of the heroes and heroines they had read about.  This proved to be a most exciting learning experience as the pupils began to consider what to read next. 

There were some amazing costumes and Mrs Wiles and Mrs Scannell (from the Senior School) had the very difficult task of judging the competition and in some cases had to pick a winner and runner up.  We would like to thank the PTA for helping with the day, and not least to parents who had worked so hard making costumes!
