Parent Teacher Associations

Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) (sometimes also known as "Friends of... followed by the name of the school) have no formal powers but they do act as a way of communicating between the school's teaching staff and the parents of its pupils.

One of the main areas of work undertaken by PTAs is fundraising which is sometimes carried out through organising social activities.

To find out how to get involved in your school's PTA, you should contact the school in the first instance. Follow the link below or signposts to the right of the screen to find out more.
