Parent Teacher Association

Welcome to the Ashford C of E Primary School PTA!

Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a vibrant and welcoming part of school life, bringing together parents, carers, teachers, and staff to enhance the educational experience of every child at Ashford C of E Primary.

What We Do

The PTA works throughout the year to support our school community. We:

  • Organise fun events for children and families, such as school discos, fayres, and seasonal celebrations.
  • Raise vital funds to provide additional resources, experiences, and opportunities for our pupils.
  • Foster a strong sense of community by connecting parents and staff in a shared mission to support our children’s education and wellbeing.

Why Your Support Matters

Every parent and carer is automatically part of the PTA, and there are many ways to get involved – from helping at events to sharing ideas or offering a bit of your time. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.

By supporting the PTA, you are helping to enrich the learning environment for all our children – and it’s a great way to meet other families and be part of school life.

If you’d like to find out more, volunteer, or share your ideas, we’d love to hear from you ashfordcofepta@gmail.com

Together, we can make a positive and lasting impact on our children’s primary school journey.

PTA Policies and Procedures

The policy and procedure below has been compiled by the PTA for its members, active members of the committee and Trustees. It gives more in-depth explanation about the PTA, safety and procedural policies which are required for Charity organisations. If you have any questions that remain unanswered, please contact one of the committee members (Co-Chairs, Treasurer or Secretary) via the school office or speak to a member of school staff.

Fundraising

Over the last few years our fundraising efforts have enabled us to purchase: LearnPads, laptops, library books for new class libraries, dictionaries for each class, Guided Reading books for Juniors, a PA system, climbing frame for the playground and new PE equipment for the hall. We have also contributed towards the new playground markings.

In 2014 we launched our ICT fundraising project to help the school improve and develop the ICT resources available. We have now purchased 11 sets of LearnPads, a new projector and wall speakers for the hall and a set of 16 laptops. We are always looking for businesses and other organisations to help us provide more equipment, for our children to use in their everyday learning, and so to prepare them for their future schools and enable them to become highly competent employees or employers of the future! If you know of a company who would be interesting in helping us please contact us via email ashfordcofepta@gmail.com or through the school office.
