All are welcome at the Carnarvon PTA

Founded in 2023 when a couple of enthusiastic parents approached the school about reinstating a school disco, the PTA has gone from strength, raising over £5000 in its first 12 months.  We are a friendly, informal group, that meets approximately once a term to discuss progress and future projects and just to have a bit of a social get-together. Our primary focus is to create a community within the school, where everyone can get involved in projects for the good of the school, the children, and the wider community.

A few of the activities the PTA have organised or supported to date include:

Halloween and Valentines Discos which have proved a huge hit with the children and are now a regular fixture

An evening of Prosecco, fashion, beauty and more, where we were supported by several small local businesses who attended the event with stalls and provided a full-blown fashion show.  Three lucky volunteers received a full makeover on the night, and all had a lovely sociable time 

Several mums ran an Ice cream stall at the Summer Sports Days, providing very welcome refreshments for both the parents and children

There is an ongoing opportunity for parents or grandparents to get involved in helping with gardening projects, and we also plan a “big tidy up” in the spring for families to come along and get involved in some projects on the school grounds.

Fundraising goals

Initial projects we are focused on fundraising for are, new and improved outdoor quiet reading areas for Lower and Upper School and all-weather canopies for the playgrounds for the benefit of both the children and parents.
